Define Disk Partitions for WinPE-based Windows Images

A WinPE-based OS image has its own disk partition file named <imagename>.wp1 in Microsoft diskpart format. The disk partition file is created in the camenu directory of the image store. You can specify which disk partition to use, for installing the OS image on the target computer.

To define the disk partition for WinPE-based OS installations

  1. Deploy the OS image on the target computer in DSM Explorer.

    An OS Installation job is created under All Computers, {Group Details}, OS Installations.

  2. Navigate to All Computers, {Group Details}, OS Installations, and select the OS installation job to which you want to specify the disk partition.

    OS installation parameters appear in the right pane.

  3. Double-click the WinPEPartition parameter.

    The Edit OS Installation Parameter dialog opens.

  4. Select one the following values:
    Use default partition file

    Creates only one active primary c: partition on disk 0 of the target computer.

    Use special partition file <imagename>.wp1 from CAMENU

    Creates the hard disk partitions as defined in the .wp1 file.

    When OS installation job executes at the target computer, the operating system is installed on the disk partition you specified in the WinPEParitition parameter.

    Note: If the  boot parameter "CreateNewPartitions" is set to true , OSIM ignores the SANID boot parameter because it uses the existing available partition (C drive) created by previous windows installation for new OS Installation. Supplying boot parameter SANID with boot parameter "WinPEPartition"  with value "Use special partition file W2012.wp1 from CAMENU", forces OSIM to ignore parameter "WinPEPartition" value. If SANID is specified, OSIM identifies the disk needed to be used for OS installation and ignores the supplied external partition file for OS deployment.
