7.1 Packaging Device Drivers for Windows Systems

To package your Windows device drivers for uploading to the PlateSpin Migrate driver database:

  1. Prepare all interdependent driver files (*.sys, *.inf, *.dll, etc.) for your target infrastructure and device. If you have obtained manufacturer-specific drivers as a .zip archive or an executable, extract them first.

  2. Save the driver files in separate folders, with a discrete folder per device.

The drivers are now ready for upload. See Uploading Drivers to the PlateSpin Migrate Device Driver Database.

NOTE:For problem-free operation of your migration job and the target workload, upload only digitally signed drivers for:

  • All 64-bit Windows systems

  • 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 systems
