Publish a UEFI Windows 8.1 64bit image > 4GB

3 de Outubro de 2014 06:57

I am trying to publish a Windows 8.1 64bit image captured from a UEFI boot machine, but the uploaded WIM file is 6.2GB and the RADIA publisher will not publish it (It only publishes 4GB of the file).
I have tried manually splitting the image using DISM but, although this publishes OK, the subsequent download fails as the UEFIInstall.cmd that runs imagex on the target device is incorrect; it acts as though there is only one WIM file rather than two.
So, I either need a publisher that publishes > 4GB or a version of OSCapture , winpe_x64.wim and wpe-x64-810_0000n.tgz that supports split images.

We are running HPCA 8.10 with CP3 and the UEFI support code from HPCA 9.1.

Any ideas?

Tony,
Firstly, if you didn't know the max file size that the Radia DB can handle IS 4GB - by design.
Secondly... (and its been a while since is did any OS imaging) when you use the Image Capture Wizard to capture an image there should be an option to Span the disk image!
HOWEVER... looking in the RCA v9.1 user guide I see the following:
"Spanning of captured WIM files is not supported on UEFI devices."
So... doesn't look like what you want to do is even possible currently.
Are you able to reduce the size of the image to < 4GB?
Does you hardware support Legacy BIOS mode? If yes and you can utilise this setting then you should be able to deploy the Spanned image.
Either way I'm sure support will provide the definitive answer.

Thanks,

Karl
