Z420 Workstation and Win 7 64bit failing to deploy

[vichardy]

We have just received a stack of z420 workstations.
I'm trying to deploy our existing image to these however it is failing.

This is a copy of the logs I get:

and

 

 

The task sequence execution engine failed execution of a task sequence. The operating system reported error 2147943568: Element not found.

What would I need to look at in this case to resolve this? Advice? steps? etc.

Looks like it can't see the hard drive. Have these got a raid controller maybe? You'll need to pull the drivers into your boot image if so.

Could be some issue with disk partition , have u tried diskpart manually by going in cmd prompt while reimaging

[vichardy]

I'm currently attempting to put the drives into a raid through EFI but the systems are not booting my USB I created.


If I let it go through without PXE booting it starts to load the preconfigured windows 7 pro, but SCCM PXE boot doesn't seem to find the drives.

We had a similiar issue with the z820 model. After talking with an HP rep we were sent a document to change the SATA Raid configuration. Basically from the factory the optical drive and primary hdd are not connected to the system board in a manner that supports OSD. We also had to download the WinPE driver pack that includes the correct iaStor driver.

Suggestion on how to configure SATA Raid on the z820.pdf

Hi.

Tried like the pdf was recommending, Injected the drivers in the bootimage, disable EFI in BIOS,the disc is present in diskpart. Nothing helped!

Anyone that has a solution??

I believe we saw this with our z420.

 

Check your versions and .inf files. I don't remember the specifics, but we had a conflict with a later version driver

 

Here are the SCSIAdapter classes we are using for our build:

 

Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA RAID Controller 3.1.0.1068 iaStorA.inf

Intel® C600 Series Chipset SAS RAID Controller 3.1.0.1082 iaStorS.inf

Intel® C600 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller 3.1.0.1068 iaAHCI.inf

 

Also the System class:

 

Intel® C600/X79 series chipset SMBus Host Controller - 1D22 9.2.3.1013 patsmb.inf
