IMPORTANT:
The WinPE environment for Windows 2008 does not contain drivers for
virtual bus drivers. Therefore, the network drivers for your compute nodes must be added
to the image, even though they may be a part of the full Windows 2008/2008 HPC Edition
operating system. You must add the network drivers to the images, or provisioning compute
nodes will fail.
For the compute nodes to properly provision, these drivers must be added to the image. If
you see the operating system copy fail while watching the compute node consoles, the WinPE
image does not contain the correct NIC drivers. To find the correct drivers in the PSP:
a.
Examine a PSP CD or an unpacked PSP file. Review the contents of the
bp00XXXX.txt
file and search for the entry regarding the Multi-function driver:
cp009194.exe HP NC-Series Broadcom 1Gb Multifunction Driver for Windows Server
2008 x64 Editions
b.
Run the file listed here, and extract the contents into a directory.
c.
Point the

location to this directory.
d.
