篇首语:本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理,主要介绍了COBBLER无人值守安装相关的知识,希望对你有一定的参考价值。

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)
1.2 系统环境准备

2.2 配置Cobbler

[[email protected] ~]# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
停止 httpd:                                               [失败]
正在启动 httpd:                                           [确定]
[[email protected]-node1 ~]# /etc/init.d/cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon:                                   [确定]
[[email protected]-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 restart
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 : 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/rsync
5 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
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.
# 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
[[email protected]-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DHCP
sed -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。
[[email protected]-node1 ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt oldboy 123456

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  # 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.

2.3 配置DHCP

# 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。
[[email protected] ~]# 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;

# --path 镜像路径
# --name 为安装源定义一个名字
# --arch 指定安装源是32位、64位、ia64, 目前支持的选项有: x86│x86_64│ia64
# 安装源的唯一标示就是根据name参数来定义,本例导入成功后,安装源的唯一标示就是:CentOS-6.6-x86_64,如果重复,系统会提示导入失败。
