前言：昨天提到了如何在CentOS7下利用cobbler來部署CentOS，沒接觸過的朋友可以參考我上一篇的文章：http://molewan.blog.51cto.com/287340/1908475，今天又測試了下利用cobbler2.8.0部署esxi5.5，參考了網上的一些資料，但與我實際操作中碰到的有些差異，所以特意記錄下來。
1、查看cobbler的版本
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler --version Cobbler 2.8.0 source: ?, ? build time: Tue Jan 31 23:25:14 2017 [root@cobbler ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
2、掛載並導入ESXI5.5的數據
[root@cobbler ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/ mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler import --path=/mnt --name=EXSI5.5 --arch=x86_64 task started: 2017-03-21_143016_import task started (id=Media import, time=Tue Mar 21 14:30:16 2017) # 以下爲提示信息，最開始看到的時候嚇我一跳 Found a candidate signature: breed=vmware, version=esxi51 running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00 received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00: gzip compressed data, was "vmvisor-sys.tar.vtar", from Unix, last modified: Thu Sep 19 14:39:27 2013 received on stderr: Found a candidate signature: breed=vmware, version=esxi60 running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00 received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00: gzip compressed data, was "vmvisor-sys.tar.vtar", from Unix, last modified: Thu Sep 19 14:39:27 2013 received on stderr: Found a candidate signature: breed=vmware, version=esxi5 running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00 received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00: gzip compressed data, was "vmvisor-sys.tar.vtar", from Unix, last modified: Thu Sep 19 14:39:27 2013 received on stderr: Found a candidate signature: breed=vmware, version=esxi55 running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00 received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/s.v00: gzip compressed data, was "vmvisor-sys.tar.vtar", from Unix, last modified: Thu Sep 19 14:39:27 2013 received on stderr: Found a matching signature: breed=vmware, version=esxi55 Adding distros from path /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64: running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/tools.t00 received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64/tools.t00: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Sep 19 14:38:11 2013 received on stderr: creating new distro: EXSI5.5-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/EXSI5.5-x86_64 -> /var/www/cobbler/links/EXSI5.5-x86_64 creating new profile: EXSI5.5-x86_64 associating repos *** TASK COMPLETE *** [root@cobbler ~]# echo $? 0 說明：以上的輸出結果可知，導入沒有問題
3、編輯kickstart文件
[root@cobbler ~]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ [root@cobbler kickstarts]# vim ESXI55.cfg # set for install esxi55 vmaccepteula # 注意如果密碼長度小於7位，安裝的時候會有報錯的（可惜忘記截圖了） rootpw redhat123456 clearpart --firstdisk --overwritevmfs install --firstdisk --overwritevmfs # 注意網卡名稱爲vmnic0 network --bootproto=dhcp --device=vmnic0 reboot --noeject [root@cobbler kickstarts]# ll total 64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1254 Mar 20 15:32 CentOS-6.7-x86_64.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1301 Mar 20 12:23 CentOS-7.3-x86_64.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 Nov 17 03:09 default.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 Nov 17 03:09 esxi4-ks.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184 Mar 21 14:44 ESXI55.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 Nov 17 03:09 esxi5-ks.cfg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 56 Mar 20 10:39 install_profiles -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1424 Nov 17 03:09 legacy.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292 Nov 17 03:09 pxerescue.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2916 Nov 17 03:09 sample_autoyast.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1825 Nov 17 03:09 sample_end.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 17 03:09 sample_esx4.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 324 Nov 17 03:09 sample_esxi4.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 386 Nov 17 03:09 sample_esxi5.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1784 Nov 17 03:09 sample.ks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3419 Nov 17 03:09 sample_old.seed -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5879 Nov 17 03:09 sample.seed 說明：可以參考sample_esxi5.ks文件進行編輯 [root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler list distros: CentOS-6.7-x86_64 CentOS-7.3-x86_64 EXSI5.5-x86_64 profiles: CentOS-6.7-x86_64 CentOS-7.3-x86_64 EXSI5.5-x86_64 systems: cobbler2 repos: images: mgmtclasses: packages: files:
4、查看cobbler profile
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler profile report

說明：由上的輸出結果，我們可以發現， EXSI5.5-x86_64默認的kickstart文件是/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample_esxi5.ks，顯然這不是我們想要的
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler profile edit --name=EXSI5.5-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ESXI55.cfg
# 修改EXSI5.5-x86_64默認的kickstart文件爲/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ESXI55.cfg，並再次查看

# 進行cobbler數據同步
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler sync
# 根據mac地址，分配一個固定IP
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler system add --name=esxi55-01 --mac=00:0C:29:4A:9F:44 --profile=EXSI5.5-x86_64 --ip-address=10.10.10.168 --subnet=255.255.255.0 --gateway=10.10.10.2 --interface=vmnic0 --static=1 --hostname=esxi55-01.saltstack.com --name-servers="10.10.10.2"
說明：以上的網卡是esxi55客戶機的真實網卡，爲它安裝的時候指定一個固定的ip、子網掩碼、網關、主機名、DNS等
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler system list
esxi55-01然後開啓服務器，坐等ESXI5.5安裝完畢
在esxi5.5上配置好ssh後，命令行模式下測試下網絡情況
~ # ping 10.10.10.2 PING 10.10.10.2 (10.10.10.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.10.10.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=1.044 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.10.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.691 ms 64 bytes from 10.10.10.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.624 ms --- 10.10.10.2 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.624/0.786/1.044 ms ~ # ping www.sina.com.cn PING www.sina.com.cn (60.215.128.246): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 60.215.128.246: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=23.509 ms 64 bytes from 60.215.128.246: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=26.123 ms 64 bytes from 60.215.128.246: icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=26.520 ms --- www.sina.com.cn ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 23.509/25.384/26.520 ms
到此，一個完整的ESXI5.5就部署完成了。
