Some of us want speed, and the fastest workstation storage with a decent price tag right now is OCZ RevoDrive. Its a PCI-E harddrive which can Read: Up to 1500 MB/s, Write: Up to 1250 MB/s and has Max Random Write 4KB (Aligned): 230,000 IOPS… Quite neat.
Whats not so neat, or fun is to get it to work with SCCM 2012.
I downloaded the latest drivers from OCZ and imported them to SCCM and my Boot Image.
I then used DiskPart to set up the unit:
select disk 0 clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick assign exit
WinPE boots fine but when I select my Task Sequence the installation stops with error code 0x800700A1.
When checking SMSTS.log I find the following:
<![LOG[User did not specify local data drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume C:\ has 480023437312 bytes of free space]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume C:\ is not bootable]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume D:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume E:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume F:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume G:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume H:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[Volume X:\ is not a fixed hard drive]LOG]!> <![LOG[TSM root drive = ]LOG]!> <![LOG[We do not find an available volume to store the local data path]LOG]!>
The MDT scripts detect the RevoDrive as “not bootable”, I would prefer not to change any scripts in the package if possible. Is there another way to set up the hardware?
The hardware I’m trying to deploy on is a HP Z400 (which is why I have so many drive letters) with a RevoDrive 3 x2.
I will keep working to solve the issue, if you’re having the same issue or got a solution let me know.
