Cobbler学习之一--Fedora17下配置Cobbler安装环境

1：Cobbler是什么

    Cobbler是一大Linux装机利器，可以快速的建立网络安装环境。

2：安装Cobbler需要的组件

  1. createrepo
  2. httpd (apache2 for Debian/Ubuntu)
  3. mkisofs
  4. mod_wsgi (libapache2-mod-wsgi for Debian/Ubuntu)
  5. mod_ssl (libapache2-mod-ssl)
  6. python-cheetah
  7. python-netaddr
  8. python-simplejson
  9. python-urlgrabber
  10. PyYAML (python-yaml for Debian/Ubuntu)
  11. rsync
  12. syslinux
  13. tftp-server (atftpd for Debian/Ubuntu, though others may work)
  14. yum-utils
  15. dhcp
  16. Django

3：安装Cobbler

    yum install cobbler

4：检查设置信息

    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 : 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 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart
7 : 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
8 : 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.

 根据上面的提示去修改设置。修改之后要重启cobbler和同步。

注意点：

1：关闭selinux和iptables

[root@fedora17 ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

[root@fedora17 ~]# systemctl status iptables.service
iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables
      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled)
      Active: inactive (dead)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/iptables.servic

 

2：server和next-server都修改成固定ip地址

# default, localhost
server: 127.0.0.1

# default, localhost
next_server: 127.0.0.1

3：manage_dhcp修改成1,允许dhcp

# default, don't manage
manage_dhcp: 0

4：修改 /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
     option routers             192.168.1.1;
     option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.210,192.168.1.211;
     option subnet-mask         255.255.255.0;
     filename                   "/pxelinux.0";
     default-lease-time         21600;
     max-lease-time             43200;
     next-server                $next_server;
}

5：启动并检查服务状态：

 $ systemctl start cobblerd.service
 $ systemctl enable cobblerd.service
 $ systemctl status cobblerd.service

 $ systemctl start httpd.service
 $ systemctl enable httpd.service
 $ systemctl status httpd.service

 $ systemctl start dhcpd.service
 $ systemctl enable dhcpd.service
 $ systemctl status dhcpd.service

6：导入iso文件

 mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /path/to/isos/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt

 cobbler import --name=fedora17 --arch=x86_64 --path=/mnt（--arch可以不指定）

7：开始安装系统


  创建一台VM，指定从pxe启动，就可以自动完成安装了。


 


 


 


 8：使用koan重新安装操作系统


   （a）在客户端安装koan


rpm -ivh koan-2.4.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm 




warning: koan-2.4.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:koan                   ########################################### [100%]




  （b）查看服务端profile文件


koan --server=172.16.0.67 --list=profiles

fedora17-x86_64
rhel6.2-i386

fedora18-x86_64




  （c）执行重新安装


koan --replace-self --server=172.16.0.67 --profile=centos6.4-x86_64
