Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.

PartedMagic

In this example I will use the PartedM agic ISO, but Clonezilla, Linux distributions, Hirens Boot CD, and other bootable ISO's can be used.

Create a folder in /tftpboot/fog/ called partedmagic, copy the partedmagic.iso file into this folder and also copy and paste the MemDisk file found in /tftpboot/fog/

Browse to /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ and edit the 'default' file in there and add:


LABEL PartedMagic
        kernel fog/partedmagic/memdisk 
        append iso initrd=fog/partedmagic/partedmagic.iso raw
        MENU PartedMagic
        TEXT HELP
        Gparted + Clonezilla + Firefox
        ENDTEXT

You can also see this forum post for more instruction - [1]

Please remember that if you create a new folder in the /tftpboot directory you will also need to include MemDisk in the same folder! The link above also includes a TFTP folder you can use to try on your own. It includes DBAN and Dell diagnostics's .ISO's.

Note: In FOG 1.3.0+, the MemDisk kernel is included as a default unless specified otherwise.

DBAN

This is a guide for adding Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) to FOG 1.3.0. While following the below tutorial, please keep in mind that everything in Linux is case sensitive.

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 inside 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:

DBAN 1.3.0.png

NOTE: You don't change the {boot_url} part, it's an environment variable.

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.

Other Parameter Options

autonuke

Hirens 15.04

First in your /etc/exports add this line:

/var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

Then restart NFS. [NFS Service CLI Controls]

Next, extract the Ubuntu iso to a direcotry named 15.04_64 in your /var/www/fog/iso directory.

In your Advanced menu use this:

MENU

menu item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ---------------- item ubuntu15.04_64 Boot Ubuntu 15.04 item return return to previous menu

ubuntu15.04_64

set path /fog/iso/15.04_64 set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64 kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void boot || read void goto start

Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.
