cobbler

1. cobbler简介

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DHCPDNS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。

2. cobbler服务端安装

#开始前确保防火墙色selinux永久是disable状态
#确保配置好yum源,包括epel源
#安装cobbler以及相关软件
[root@localhost ~]#  yum -y install httpd dhcp tftp python-ctypes cobbler  xinetd cobbler-web pykickstart net-tools

#启动服务并开机自启
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now httpd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now cobblerd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cobblerd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/cobblerd.service.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now rsyncd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rsyncd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyncd.service.

#cobbler服务器的ip,应设置为本机的ip,不能设为0.0.0.0,它不是监听地址
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/^server: 127.0.0.1/server: 192.168.32.125/' /etc/cobbler/settings
#next_server选项用于DHCP / PXE,作为下载网络启动文件的TFTP服务器的IP。通常与服务器设置相同的IP。
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/^next_server: 127.0.0.1/next_server: 192.168.32.125/' /etc/cobbler/settings

#开启TFTP
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i '/disable/s/yes/no/g' /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

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
2 : 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.

3. 客户端安装

给客户端插上电源,连接上网线,开机。


下键选择系统回车开始装机

正常进入系统

4. 定制安装

定制安装步骤:

  • 统计服务器mac地址
  • 配置cobbler
  • 安装

统计mac地址此处就不赘述了,直接最重要的配置
在 cobbler 的web界面上配置:


把新建虚拟机的MAC和这里的MAC一样

同步配置并重启相关服务:

最后开机自动会安装系统
