Cobbler是一個快速網絡安裝linux的服務，而且在經過調整也可以支持網絡安裝windows。該工具使用python開發，小巧輕便（才15k行代碼），使用簡單的命令即可完成PXE網絡安裝環境的配置，同時還可以管理DHCP，DNS，以及yum包鏡像。
我用的系統是Centos6.5 64 位

# 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
/rsync
4 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
5 : ksvalidator was not found,
install
pykickstart
6 : 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
7 : 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.
|
上面這段信息大意就是：
1，編輯/etc/cobbler/settings文件，找到 server選項，修改為適當的ip地址，本實例配置ip為：192.168.1.243
2，編輯/etc/cobbler/settings文件，找到 next_server選項，修改為適當的ip地址，本實例配置ip為：192.168.1.243
3，編輯/etc/xinetd.d/rsync文件，將文件中的disable字段的配置由yes改為no
4，提示說debmirror沒安裝。如果不是安裝 debian之類的系統，此提示可以忽略，如果需要安裝，下載地址為：
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=debmirror
5，ksvalidator沒有被發現，安裝pykickstart
|
1
|
[root@i51 ~]
# yum install pykickstart
|
6，修改cobbler用戶的默認密碼，可以使用如下命令生成密碼，並使用生成后的密碼替換/etc/cobbler/settings中的密碼。生成密碼命令： 其中“random-phrase-here”為干擾碼
openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'
7，fencing tools為找到安裝

[root@i51 ~]

cobbler使用 導入安裝文件
總體來說，在RHT/Centos 系列版本下，Cobbler的使用上不會遇到很大問題
Cobbler 主要的作用是，把DHCP 、Kickstart 的修改都集成在一個平台下做了管理
Cobbler 的精華 其實是 它啟用了 Kickstart 配置模板，其中可以內嵌python代碼
這部分技術，Cobbler叫做：snippets
在RHT/Centos 系列中，官方已經提供了不少這些代碼，基本上調用一下就可以了，而Ubuntu下就非常的痛苦，必須自己開發（這部分的配置 暫且不表，后續有專門篇幅來介紹 )
以下是相關配置路徑(默認安裝) :
Cobbler 配置主要位置：/var/lib/cobbler/ （實際操作和配置的目錄 )
snippets 代碼 位置：/var/lib/cobbler/snippets/
Kickstart 模板 位置 : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/
安裝源鏡像 位置 : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ （把它link到apache的發布目錄，方便kickstart 工作時通過http下載安裝鏡像文件 )
導入安裝源
准備好安裝光盤 (ISO)我的服務器上有這么多

參數說明:
--name 為安裝源定義一個名字
--arch 指定安裝源是32位還是64位、ia64, 目前支持的選項有: x86│x86_64│ia64
注意： 這個安裝源的唯一標示 就是根據這兩個參數來定義
本例導入成功后，安裝源的唯一標示就是：centos6.3-x86_64 ，如果重復，系統會提示導入失敗
更多用法，可以查看官方文檔: man cobbler ,然后查找 import 的配置

cobbler會自動進行初始化工作，移除已經存在的啟動項，然后根據模板拷貝loader文件。之后再生成pxe的配置文件，生成dhcp的配置文件，最后再重啟dhcp服務。
至此，就可以使用虛擬機來測試cobbler安裝了。
OK開啟真機或者虛擬機來測試注意開啟網絡引導 網卡要開啟PXE 引導程序
測試如下
登陸后如下默認root密碼為cobbler
