7. Follow the instructions for a
New Installation on a Windows Server* system
. This will install the net-
working drivers and configure the FCoE drivers to work with the networking drivers. Note that you can-
not deselect the FCoE feature. You will be prompted to reboot at the end of the installation process.
8. Windows may prompt you to reboot once again after it returns to the desktop.
Installing Windows Server with Local Disk
After the Option ROM is installed, if you wish to install Windows Server with local disk, do the following:
1. Follow the instructions for a
New Installation on a Windows Server* system
2. Verify that the FCoE Boot disk is available in the
Fabric View
tab of Intel® PROSet for Windows
Device Manager, and verify that you are online using Windows Disk Manager.
3. Open a command prompt, run the fcoeprep.bat batch file. To find the batch file, navigate to the
\APPS\FCOEBOOT\Winx64\Setup directory.
4. Shut Windows down and capture the OS image to a local disk partition.
5. Transfer the image from the local hard drive to the FCoE target. This may be done from within the local
Windows installation.
6. For Windows 2008 R2 SP1 only: Run bcdboot.exe from the local Windows installation to make the
FCoE disk bootable.
l
If a System Reserved partition exists on the FCoE disk, type:
bcdboot F:\Windows /s
E:
where E: is the FCoE System Reserved partition and F: is the FCoE partition with the Win-
dows directory.
l
If a System Reserved partition does not exist, type:
bcdboot E:\Windows /s E:
where E: is the FCoE partition with the Windows directory.
7. Shut down and remove the local disk.
8. Configure the system BIOS to boot from the FCoE disk and boot.
NOTE:
See Microsoft's documentation for more detailed instructions.
Upgrading Windows Drivers on an Intel® Ethernet FCoE-Booted System
Upgrading an FCoE-booted system can only be done via the Intel® Network Connections Installer. A reboot
is required to complete the upgrade. You cannot upgrade a port's Windows driver and software package if the
port is in the path to the virtual memory paging file and is also part of a Microsoft Server 2012 NIC Team
(LBFO Team). To complete the upgrade, remove the port from the LBFO team and restart the upgrade.
Validation and Storage Certification
The software components for Intel® Ethernet FCoE are comprised of two major components: the Intel®
Ethernet base driver and the Intel® Ethernet FCoE Driver. They are developed and validated as an ordered
pair. You are strongly encouraged to avoid scenarios, either through upgrades or Windows update, where the
Intel® Ethernet driver version is not the version released with the corresponding Intel® Ethernet FCoE driver.
