cobbler 简介

  • Cobbler 是Linux服务器安装的服务,通过网络启动的方式来快速安装、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
  • (cobbler_web),还提供了API接口,可以方便二次元开发使用

[root@cobbler-server yum.repos.d]# curl -o CentOS7-Base-163.repo  http://mirrors.163.com/.help/CentOS7-Base-163.repo
[root@cobbler-server yum.repos.d]# sed -i 's/\$releasever/7/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS7-Base-163.repo 
[root@cobbler-server yum.repos.d]#  sed -i 's/^enabled=.*/enabled=1/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS7-Base-163.repo
[root@cobbler-server yum.repos.d]# yum -y install epel-release

安装cobbler 以及相关的软件

[root@cobbler-server ~]#  yum -y install httpd dhcp tftp python-ctypes cobbler  xinetd cobbler-web pykickstart
[root@ yum.repocobbler-server ~]# yum search httpd   //查找详细的包名安装
关闭防火墙、关闭selinux
[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl stop firewalld
[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl disable firewalld
[root@cobbler-server ~]# setenforce 0
[root@cobbler-server ~]# sed -ri 's/(^SELINUX=).*/\1disabled/g'  /etc/selinux/config 

启动服务并设置开机自启动

[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl start httpd
[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl start cobblerd
[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl enable cobblerd
[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl enable httpd

修改Server的IP地址为本机的IP

[root@cobbler-server ~]# sed -i 's/^server: 127.0.0.1/server: 192.168.169.10/' /etc/cobbler/settings

设置tftp的ip地址为本机的ip地址

 sed -i 's/^next_server: 127.0.0.1/next_server: 192.168.169.10/' /etc/cobbler/settings

开启tftp

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

通过cobbler check核对当前设置是否有问题

[root@cobbler-server ~]# cobbler check 
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.
//以上两个是关于debian系统的错误,请忽略

配置cobbler dhcp

[root@cobbler-server ~]# sed -i '/^manage_dhcp/s/0/1/g' /etc/cobbler/settings
[root@cobbler-server ~]# sed -n '/^manage_dhcp/p' /etc/cobbler/settings

常见的报错提示
配置yum 源时,出现如下报错,原因在于没有配置DNS 所导致

[root@cobbler-server yum.repos.d]# curl -o CentOS7-Base-163.repo  http://mirrors.163.com/.help/CentOS7-Base-163.repo
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

解决方法如下

[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# vi  /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver  8.8.8.8
nameserver  8.8.4.4
search localdomain 

核对配置是否有问题时报错

[root@localhost ~]# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:

1 : SELinux is enabled. Please review the following wiki page for details on ensuring cobbler works correctly in your SELinux environment:
    https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Selinux
2 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
3 : 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.

解决方法

第一个,关闭selinux,必须在/etc/selinux/config 这个配置文件里面关闭,然后在重新启动就好了
[root@localhost ~]# cobbler check

//以上两个是关于debian系统的错误,请忽略
