一.简介
Cobbler 可以用来快速建立 Linux 网络安装环境,它已将 Linux 网络安装的技术门槛,从大专以上文化水平,成功降低到初中以下,连补鞋匠都能学会。(~..~)
二.安装环境以及资源
- 系统:centos 6.5 IP:192.168.30.158/24
- 自动安装镜像:CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso
三.安装步骤
- 安装epel源:
[[email protected] ~]# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
- 安装DHCP、tftp,rsync,xinetd,httpd(这些都是所需要的,如果有则不需要安装。)
[[email protected] ~]# yum -y install dhcp tftp rsync xinetd httpd
- 安装cobbler
[[email protected] ~]# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
- [[email protected] ~]# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
- [[email protected] ~]# yum install cobbler
- 安装cobbler完成后,重启cobblerd。还暂时不能使用,我们可以运行一下这个命令,检查一下。可以看到的错误信息
[[email protected] ~]# cobbler checkThe 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 than127.0.0.1, 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 : change ‘disable‘ to ‘no‘ in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync
- 6 : comment out ‘dists‘ on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support7 : comment out ‘arches‘ on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support8 : 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 oneRestart cobblerd and then run ‘cobbler sync‘ to apply changes.
- 现在就一个一个的来解决以上的错误条目。
- 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.
上面提示需要修改cobbler服务器的ip地址。配置文件是/etc/cobbler/settings.找到[[email protected] ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settingsserver: 192.168.30.158next_server: 192.168.30.158
- 2 : change ‘disable‘ to ‘no‘ in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 修改disable 为 no

- server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
- disable = no

- cps = 100 2
- flags = IPv4
- }
- 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.

- 此处按提示操作,最后一个生成的“999999”密码,是cobbler客户端安装完系统后的root密码。生成后的密码$1$222222$D38AxheCTHf/nVAzlN0.z0需要写入下面的文件内:/etc/cobbler/settings内

找到以上两行,并注释掉这两句。

- 12:现在配置基本上已经完成了,可以达到自动装机的效果了。(可能生产环境中需要修改一些环境变量,或者预安装的软件包)
四.现在测试一下
- 开机,选择网卡启动
- 之后在出现的系统菜单中,选择所需要安装的系统
- 选择Centos6.5后即可自动进行安装。
