Cobbler自動化部署
cobbler簡介
Cobbler 可以用來快速建立 Linux 網絡安裝環境，它已將Linux網絡安裝的技術門檻，從大專以上文化水平，成功降低到了初中水平，連補鞋匠都能學會。
網絡安裝服務器套件Cobbler（補鞋匠）從前，我們一直在裝機民工這份很有前途的職業。自打若干年前Red Hat推出了 Kickstart，此後我們頓覺身價增倍。不再需要刻了光盤一臺一臺的安裝Linux，只要搞定PXE、DHCP、TFTP，還有那滿屏眼花繚亂不知所云的Kickstart腳本，我們就可以像哈利波特一樣，輕點魔棒，瞬間安裝上百臺服務器。這一堆花裏胡哨的東西可不是一般人能夠整明白的，沒有大專以上的學歷，通不過英語四級，根本別想玩轉。總而言之，這是一份多麼有前途，多麼有技術含量的工作啊。很不幸，Red Hat 最新（Cobbler項目最初在2008年左右發佈）發佈了網絡安裝服務器套件Cobbler（補鞋匠），它已將Linux網絡安裝的技術門檻，從大專以上文化水平，成功降低到初中以下水平，連補鞋匠都能學會。
1、Cobbler是一個Linux服務器安裝的服務，可以通過網絡啓動（PXE）的方式來快速安裝、重裝物理服務器和虛擬機，同時還可以管理DHCP，DNS等。
2、Cobbler可以使用命令行方式管理，也提供了基於Web的界面管理工具（cobbler-web），還提供了API接口，可以方便二次開發使用。
3、Cobbler是較早前的kickstart的升級版，優點是比較容易配置，還自帶web界面比較易於管理。
4、Cobbler內置了一個輕量級配置管理系統，但它也支持和其它配置管理系統集成，如Puppet。

cobbler對應關係#
Cobbler的配置結構基於一組註冊的對象。每個對象表示一個與另一個實體相關聯的實體。當一個對象指向另一個對象時，它就繼承了被指向對象的數據，並可覆蓋或添加更多特定信息。
- 發行版(
distros)： 表示一個操作系統。它承載了內核和initrd的信息，以及內核參數等其他數據。 - 配置文件(
profiles)：包含一個發行版、一個kickstart文件以及可能的存儲庫，還包括更多特定的內核參數等其他數據。 - 系統(
systems)：表示要配給的機器。它包括一個配置文件或一個鏡像、IP和MAC地址、電源管理（地址、憑據、類型）以及更爲專業的數據等信息。 - 鏡像(
images)：可以替換一個保函不屑於此類別的文件的發行版對象（例如，無法分爲內核和initrd的對象）。
cobbler集成的服務#

TFTP目錄中 - 啓動
DHCP服務，提供地址分配 DHCP服務分配IP地址TFTP傳輸啓動文件Server端接收安裝信息Server端發送ISO鏡像與Kickstart文件
Client端
- 客戶端以
PXE模式啓動 - 客戶端獲取
IP地址 - 通過
TFTP服務器獲取啓動文件 - 進入
Cobbler安裝選擇界面 - 根據配置信息準備安裝系統
- 加載
Kickstart文件 - 傳輸系統安裝的其它文件
- 進行安裝系統
cobbler安裝#
說明：虛擬機網卡採用NAT模式或者僅主機模式，不要使用橋接模式，因爲後面會搭建DHCP服務器，在同一個局域網多個DHCP服務會有衝突。
VMware的NAT模式的dhcp服務也關閉，避免干擾。

配置cobbler#
檢查Cobbler的配置，如果看不到下面的結果，再次重啓cobbler
[root@cobbler ~]# 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 them, 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 : enable and start rsyncd.service with systemctl 6 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories 7 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart 8 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobbler/settings) is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new one 9 : 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.
看到上面出現的問題，然後一個一個的進行解決，先進行設置爲可以動態配置，也可以直接更改配置文件。
# 設置可以動態修改配置文件 [root@cobbler ~]# sed -ri '/allow_dynamic_settings:/c\allow_dynamic_settings: 1' /etc/cobbler/settings [root@cobbler ~]# grep allow_dynamic_settings /etc/cobbler/settings allow_dynamic_settings: 1 [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd
逐個解決上面的問題
1. server [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=server --value=192.168.2.128 2. next_server [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=next_server --value=192.168.2.128 3. tftp_server [root@cobbler ~]# sed -ri '/disable/c\disable = no' /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl enable xinetd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl restart xinetd 4. boot-loaders [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler get-loaders 5. rsyncd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl start rsyncd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl enable rsyncd 6. debmirror [optional] # 這個是可選項的，可以忽略。這裏就忽略了 7. pykickstart [root@cobbler ~]# yum -y install pykickstart 8. default_password_crypted #注意：這裏設置的密碼，也就是後面安裝完系統的初始化登錄密碼 [root@cobbler ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt `openssl rand -hex 4` 'admin' $1$675f1d08$oJoAMVxdbdKHjQXbGqNTX0 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=default_password_crypted --value='$1$675f1d08$oJoAMVxdbdKHjQXbGqNTX0' 9. fencing tools [optional] [root@cobbler ~]# yum -y install fence-agents
解決完成再次查看
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler check The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix: 1 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
配置DHCP#
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=manage_dhcp --value=1
# 修改cobbler的dhcp模塊，不要直接修改dhcp本身的配置文件，因爲cobbler會覆蓋
[root@cobbler ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
...
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { #這裏改爲分配的網段和掩碼
#option routers 192.168.1.5; #如果有網關，這裏改爲網關地址
#option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; #如果有DNS，這裏改爲DNS地址
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; #改爲分配的IP的掩碼
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.2.100 192.168.2.254; #改爲分配的IP的範圍
...

cobbler配置安裝centos6.x#
由於我這裏實在centos7系統上面配置的cobbler，所以上傳了一個centos6的鏡像並進行掛載。
1）創建掛載點，並進行掛載
[root@cobbler ~]# mkdir /centos6 [root@cobbler ~]# mount -o loop CentOS-6.9-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /centos6
2）查看掛載後的目錄
[root@cobbler ~]# ls /centos6/ CentOS_BuildTag images repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Testing-6 EFI isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 TRANS.TBL EULA Packages RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Debug-6 GPL RELEASE-NOTES-en-US.html RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Security-6
3）導入鏡像
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler import --path=/centos6 --name=centos6.9 --arch=x86_64 # --path 鏡像路徑 # --name 爲安裝源定義一個名字 # --arch 指定安裝源是32位、64位、ia64, 目前支持的選項有: x86│x86_64│ia64 # 安裝源的唯一標示就是根據name參數來定義，本例導入成功後，安裝源的唯一標示就是：centos6.9，如果重複，系統會提示導入失敗。
4）查看導入後鏡像信息

6）copy一份profile文件(ks)，進行修改
[root@cobbler ~]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/

%end
7）編輯centos6鏡像所使用的kickstart文件
# 動態編輯指定使用新的kickstart文件 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile edit --name=centos6.9-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos6.ks # 驗證是否更改成功 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile report --name=centos6.9-x86_64 |grep Kickstart Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos6.ks
8）再次同步cobbler配置
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler sync
9）新建虛擬機進行測試
選擇centos6.9進行安裝，會按照kickstart文件安裝並啓動
cobbler配置安裝centos7.x#
我這裏cobbler服務器就是7的系統，所以直接掛載/dev/cdrom即可
1）創建掛載點，並進行掛載
[root@cobbler ~]# mkdir /centos7 [root@cobbler ~]# mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /centos7
2）查看掛載後的目錄
[root@cobbler ~]# ls /centos7/ CentOS_BuildTag EULA images LiveOS repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Testing-7 EFI GPL isolinux Packages RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 TRANS.TBL
3）導入鏡像

7）編輯centos7鏡像所使用的kickstart文件
# 動態編輯指定使用新的kickstart文件 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile edit --name=centos7.4-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos7.ks # 驗證是否更改成功 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile report --name=centos7.4-x86_64 |grep Kickstart Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos7.ks
8）再次同步cobbler配置
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler sync
9）新建虛擬機進行測試
選擇centos7.4進行安裝即可
