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 which 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 called iso in the root directory.
  • Make a directory in the web folder called dban
  • Get the latest copy of dban (URL likely needs updated) and put it into the iso directory.
  • Mount the iso 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:
