DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke)
This is a guide for adding Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) to FOG 1.3.0.
Backend
For this example, we will be using Fedora 21 Server; these commands should work for CentOS and RHEL as well. For Debian/Ubuntu based distributions you should only need to change the web directory paths to (maybe?) exclude the /html part.
Please note that the below wget URL will likely need updated to a current URL for the latest DBAN ISO.
Here is a step-by-step explanation of what the below commands do:
- Make a directory in the root directory called "iso."
- Make a directory in the web folder called "dban."
- Get the latest copy of dban using wget (URL likely needs updated) and put it into the "iso" directory with the name "dban.iso."
- Mount the dban.iso file to the "dban" web directory as read-only (must be read only for ISOs).
These commands are executed on your FOG server via CLI with sudo or root permissions:
mkdir /iso mkdir /var/www/html/dban wget -O /iso/dban.iso http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dban/dban/dban-2.3.0/dban-2.3.0_i586.iso mount -t iso9660 -o loop /iso/dban.iso /var/www/html/dban
If you've done the steps above correctly, you should be able to visit the directory in a web browser like so to see the files from the ISO:
x.x.x.x/dban
Frontend
Now we must add a new entry to the FOG boot menu. For this, we will navigate in the FOG web UI to here:
FOG Configuration -> iPXE New Menu Entry
In this menu, you will add the below information.
Menu Item: DBAN
Description: Boot and nuke (This is what the menu displays)
Parameters:
:DBAN
kernel ${boot_url}/dban/dban.bzi nuke="dwipe --autonuke" silent vga=785
boot
Menu Show with: All Hosts
It should look something like this when you're done:
NOTE: Some have reported that this works for them without the double quotes around this part: dwipe --autonuke but you may not have this problem.
