说在最前面的话 在看Cobbler之前请大家先看一下Kickstart无人值守安装,了解一下Cobbler的实现原理。但是Cobbler是独立的,不需要先安装Kickstart然后再安装Cobbler,这是写给不了解Kickstart的人看的。
1. Cobbler介绍
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。

1.1 Cobbler集成的服务- PXE服务支持
- DHCP服务管理
- DNS服务管理(可选bind,dnsmasq)
- 电源管理
- Kickstart服务支持
- YUM仓库管理
- TFTP(PXE启动时需要)
- Apache(提供kickstart的安装源,并提供定制化的kickstart配置)
[root@linux-node1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-releaseCentOS release 6.7 (Final)[root@linux-node1 ~]# uname -r2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64[root@linux-node1 ~]# getenforceDisabled[root@linux-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/iptables statusiptables: Firewall is not running.[root@linux-node1 ~]# ifconfig eth0|awk -F "[ :]+" 'NR==2 {print $4}'10.0.0.7[root@linux-node1 ~]# hostnamelinux-node1.example.com# 配置阿里云的epel源[root@linux-node1 ~]# wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo http://mirrors.aliyun.com/repo/epel-6.repo
注意:
- 虚拟机网卡采用NAT模式,不要使用桥接模式,因为稍后我们会搭建DHCP服务器,在同一局域网多个DHCP服务会有冲突。
- VMware的NAT模式的dhcp服务也关闭,避免干扰。
2.2 配置Cobbler

2.3 配置DHCP
[root@linux-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart停止 httpd: [失败]正在启动 httpd: [确定][root@linux-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/cobblerd startStarting cobbler daemon: [确定][root@linux-node1 ~]# cobbler check # 检查Cobbler的配置,如果看不到下面的结果,再次执行/etc/init.d/cobblerd restartThe 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 : 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.4 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync5 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories6 : 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 one7 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to use themRestart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.# 看着上面的结果,一个一个解决。# 第1、2、6个问题,顺便修改其他功能[root@linux-node1 ~]# cp /etc/cobbler/settings{,.ori} # 备份# server,Cobbler服务器的IP。sed -i 's/server: 127.0.0.1/server: 10.0.0.7/' /etc/cobbler/settings# next_server,如果用Cobbler管理DHCP,修改本项,作用不解释,看kickstart。sed -i 's/next_server: 127.0.0.1/next_server: 10.0.0.7/' /etc/cobbler/settings# 用Cobbler管理DHCPsed -i 's/manage_dhcp: 0/manage_dhcp: 1/' /etc/cobbler/settings# 防止循环装系统,适用于服务器第一启动项是PXE启动。sed -i 's/pxe_just_once: 0/pxe_just_once: 1/' /etc/cobbler/settings# 设置新装系统的默认root密码123456。下面的命令来源于提示6。random-phrase-here为干扰码,可以自行设定。[root@linux-node1 ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt 'oldboy' '123456'$1$oldboy$Npg9Pt9k98Mlg0ZeqHAuN1[root@linux-node1 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settingsdefault_password_crypted: "$1$oldboy$Npg9Pt9k98Mlg0ZeqHAuN1"# 第3个问题[root@linux-node1 ~]# cobbler get-loaders # 会自动从官网下载[root@linux-node1 ~]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/ # 下载的内容[root@linux-node1 loaders]# lsCOPYING.elilo COPYING.yaboot grub-x86_64.efi menu.c32 READMECOPYING.syslinux elilo-ia64.efi grub-x86.efi pxelinux.0 yaboot# 第4个问题[root@linux-node1 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/rsyncdisable = no[root@linux-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/xinetd restart停止 xinetd: [确定]正在启动 xinetd: [确定][root@linux-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/cobblerd restartStopping cobbler daemon: [确定]Starting cobbler daemon: [确定][root@linux-node1 ~]# cobbler checkThe 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 # 和debian系统相关,不需要2 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to use them # fence设备相关,不需要Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
2.4 同步cobbler配置
# 修改cobbler的dhcp模版,不要直接修改dhcp本身的配置文件,因为cobbler会覆盖。[root@linux-node1 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template# 仅列出修改过的字段……subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {option routers 10.0.0.2;option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.2;option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.200;……
