RESOLUTION

Important Check the current size of the Boot.wim file that is located in following folder:

%CCP_HOME%\data\boot\x64\
If the size of the Boot.wim file is larger than 200 megabytes (MB), you must repair the file. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In the media or file share that you used to capture the deployment image, locate the original Boot.wim file (\sources\boot.wim).
  2. Copy the original Boot.wim file, and then replace the Boot.wim file that is located in the following folder:

    %CCP_HOME%\data\boot\x64\
  3. Start HPC Cluster Manager, and then click Configuration.
  4. In the To-do List, click Configure your network.
  5. Change the current network topology to something other than what you have, and then complete the wizard.
  6. Click Configure your network again, set the network topology back to its original state, and then complete the wizard again.

Note The Boot.wim file is now repaired. Make sure that you have applied the update that is described in the “Update information” section so that the file’s size does not grow excessively again.
