Creating a New Driver


To create a new driver proceed as follows:

  1. Select OS Deployment > Your OSD Manager > Drivers in the left window pane.
  2. Select Edit > Create Driver osddriver_create.png
    The Properties window appears.
  3. Select a drivers .inf file:
    1. Click Select next to the Driver .inf File field.
       The Driver File from Your OSD Manager window appears, providing the directory structure of the currently selected OSD Manager.
    2. Browse to the correct file and select it.
    3. Click OK to confirm and to close the window.
       After the agent has located the file most of the following text boxes will be filled in automatically and most of them are not editable to ensure data integrity.
  4. Enter a name for the new driver.
  5. If the driver is required for a specific installation you can add a tag to classify it.
  6. If desired, add a note to the new driver.
  7. Click OK at the bottom of the window to confirm the data for the new driver.

The new driver will be automatically created under the driver class node to which it belongs, for example, all network card drivers will be created under the Network Cards node. If the folder for this class does not yet exist it is created.
