COBBLER无人值守安装

   Cobbler是一个Linux服务器安装的服务，可以通过网络启动(PXE)的方式来快速安装、重装物理服务器和虚拟机，同时还可以管理DHCP，DNS等。

Cobbler可以使用命令行方式管理，也提供了基于Web的界面管理工具(cobbler-web)，还提供了API接口，可以方便二次开发使用。

   Cobbler是较早前的kickstart的升级版，优点是比较容易配置，还自带web界面比较易于管理。

Cobbler内置了一个轻量级配置管理系统，但它也支持和其它配置管理系统集成，如Puppet，暂时不支持SaltStack。

   kickstart是由dhcp、tftp、http这三种服务有机组成，为有pxe功能的客户端提供自动装机服务。kickstart只是这套系统的名字，并没有这个独立的软件。

   cobbler是对kickstart进行二次开发，安装cobbler的过程中，其实已经悄悄地安装了和kickstart一样的服务，因此在工作中安装cobbler直接一条yum命令即可，不需要先把kickstart服务安装配置好。

环境

Linux CentOS6 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 

cobbler-2.6.11-1.el6.x86_64

cobbler-web-2.6.11-1.el6.noarch

dhcp-4.1.1-51.P1.el6.centos.x86_64 

tftp-server-0.49-8.el6.x86_64

pykickstart-1.74.20-1.el6.noarch

httpd-2.2.15-56.el6.centos.3.x86_64

系统环境准备

[root@CentOS6 ~]# getenforce
Disabled
[root@CentOS6 ~]# /etc/init.d/iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.
[root@CentOS6 ~]#  cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
[root@CentOS6 ~]#wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo http://mirrors.aliyun.com/repo/epel-6.repo

注意：虚拟机VMware模式的DHCP服务关闭，同一台机器上面不允许两个DHCP服务

配置Cobbler

[root@CentOS6 ~]# cobbler check

The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : The 'server' field in /etc/cobbler/settings must be set to something other than localhost, or kickstarting features will not work.  This should be a resolvable hostname or IP for the boot server as reachable by all machines that will use it.

2 : For PXE to be functional, the 'next_server' field in /etc/cobbler/settings must be set to something other than 127.0.0.1, and should match the IP of the boot server on the PXE network.

3 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

4 : some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to download th

em, or, if you only want to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely.  Files in this directory, should you want to support all architectures, should include pxelinux.0, menu.c32, elilo.efi, and yaboot. The 'cobbler get-loaders' command is the easiest way to resolve these requirements.

5 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

6 : file /etc/xinetd.d/rsync does not exist  # 这是一个bug

7 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories

8 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobb

ler/settings) is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new one9 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence

-agents to use them

Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

问题4解决方法

####http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kVqhMT5###需要从官网下载，我这里已经下载好了。

tar xfP cobbler_load.tar.gz

配置DHCP

[root@CentOS6 ~] vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template 

:%s/192.168.1/172.16.1/g

镜像挂载

这里我用的是虚拟机VMware，需要把你的镜像文件挂载一下。

创建挂载目录

[root@CentOS6 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

点击“import DVD”--》“DVD importer”,这里需要注明路径必须填写，然后单击“run”把镜像文件上传到服务器上面，这里上传的方式使用rsync上传，rsync服务是批量增加的。

点击“events”查看日志。

刚刚上传镜像目录

创建yum源文件，yum源可以使用本地yum源也可以使用外网yum源。

创建完yum源以后需要“reposync”进行同步一下，方可以生效
