Is it possible to port (create a cab, like with ReFS or dedup) with MPIO? I need Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) on the server with dozen LUNs - 8 paths each, so letter X: is used. Help please

Sorry, I don’t understand you exactly I know that MPIO is a feature in ServerACore 1709. I tried to extract the cab from it. Can apply to client Win10 1709, but is is not applicable to WinPE 1709. Is there a way to unpack it somehow and apply via files/registry, so it works in WinPE?
MultipathIo is a feature that needs to be enabled to take effect. Packages installed to WinPE simply add its contents to WinSxS without the feature being deployed to System.
So, what is a way to add/enable MPIO at WinPE? How can I create a modified WinPE disk that does use multipathing?
How about capture before MP is enabled & after it is enabled? There will be only a bunch of entries in registry/file system that should be able to be applied to WinPE
Sad to hear. I need WinPE as a part of host deployment with SCVMM, and I need it to support MPIO to be able to install on LUNs (Hyper-V servers are diskless) - without unmapping all the data LUNs first.
VMM host deployment is an automated process. I provide a list of IPMI IP/MAC addresses and credentials, servers boot to WinPE via PXE and VMM agent delivers bootable VHD and does all the deployment, cluster creation, network switches, etc. Windows-to-go won’t help me to monthly redeploy 100 hyper-v hosts in a patch management routine, where the requirement in latest semi annual image with update and all hosts must be identical binary-wise.
That is what MS now recommends to hosters, where hundreds of servers might be working identically, which doesn’t happen when servers are deployed during extended period of time and are kept updated via WSUS/CAU, they work differently
