注，操作系统 CentOS 6.4 x86_64，软件版本 Cobbler-2.4.0-1。（目前最新版）

一、前言

在一篇博客中我们主要中大家来说一下Cobbler安装与配置，并且详细说一下Cobbler命令的使用。

二、环境配置

1.实验拓扑

2.安装yum源

[root@node2 ~]# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.z0cbxV: Header V3 RSA/SHA256Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
Preparing...        ########################################### [100%]
1:epel-release      ########################################### [100%]

3.同步系统时间

[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y ntp
[root@node2 ~]# ntpdate 202.120.2.101
4 Nov 13:49:41 ntpdate[1190]: step timeserver 202.120.2.101 offset 388653.714776 sec
[root@node2 ~]# hwclock -w

4.关闭防火墙与SELinux

[root@node2 ~]# service iptables stop
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig iptables off
[root@node2 ~]# getenforce
Disabled

三、Cobbler 安装

1.Cobbler运行所需基础包

[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y cobbler tftp dhcp httpd cman pykickstart debmirror

2.Cobblerf所需环境支持包

[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y ed patch perl perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-LockFile-Simple perl-libwww-perl

3.将所有服务加入开机自启动并启动相关服务

[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig httpd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig dhcpd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig xinetd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig cobblerd on
[root@node2 ~]#
[root@node2 ~]# service httpd start
正在启动 httpd：httpd: Could not reliably determine the server‘s fully qualified domain name, using node2.test.com forServerName
[确定]
[root@node2 ~]# service cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon:                  [确定]

4.修改apache相关配置并重新启动

注，从上面的启动信息可以看出apache启动有点小错误，我们来修正一下。

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
#增加一行
ServerName localhost:80
[root@node2 ~]# service httpd restart
停止 httpd：                        [确定]
正在启动 httpd：                      [确定]

5.运行Cobbler检查命令

[root@node2 ~]# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
: The ‘server‘field in/etc/cobbler/settingsmust be setto something other than localhost, or kickstarting features will not work. This should be a resolvable hostnameor IP forthe boot server as reachable by all machines that will use it.
: For PXE to be functional, the ‘next_server‘field in/etc/cobbler/settingsmust be setto something other than 127.0.0.1, and should match the IP of the boot server on the PXE network.
: some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you may run ‘cobbler get-loaders‘to download them, or, ifyou only want to handle x86/x86_64netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely. Files inthis directory, should you want to support all architectures, should include pxelinux.0, menu.c32, elilo.efi, and yaboot. The ‘cobbler get-loaders‘commandis the easiest way to resolve these requirements.
: change ‘disable‘to ‘no‘in/etc/xinetd.d/rsync
: comment out ‘dists‘on /etc/debmirror.conf forproper debian support
: comment out ‘arches‘on /etc/debmirror.conf forproper debian support
: The default password used by the sample templates fornewly installed machines (default_password_crypted in/etc/cobbler/settings) is still setto ‘cobbler‘and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 -salt ‘random-phrase-here‘ ‘your-password-here‘"to generate new one
Restart cobblerd and thenrun ‘cobbler sync‘to apply changes.

注，从上面的执行结果来看上面有7处错误，下面我们来解决一下。

(1).错误1，修改/etc/cobbler/settings 里面的 server 为Cobbler Server的IP地址；

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
server: 192.168.18.202

(2).错误2，修改/etc/cobbler/settings 里面的 next_serverw 为本机的 ip；

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
next_server: 192.168.18.202

(3).错误3，据说这个错误可以忽略，有强迫完美运行症的人士可以运行以下命令来解决；

[root@node2 ~]# cobbler get-loaders

*** TASK COMPLETE ***

(4).错误4，修改/etc/xinetd.d/tftp 把‘disable‘ 修改为‘no‘；修改/etc/xinetd.d/rsync 把‘disable‘ 修改为‘no‘；

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
disable         = no
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/rsync
disable = no

注，启动xinetd服务。

[root@node2 ~]# service xinetd start
正在启动 xinetd：                     [确定]

(5).错误5与错误6，debmmirror有错误；

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/debmirror.conf
#注释掉@dists="sid"与@arches="i386即可
#@dists="sid";
#@arches="i386";

(6).错误7，设置默认root密码；

注，刚接触Cobbler的博友会问，这个密码是什么密码。有的博友系统安装好了会问，root密码是什么。这里设置的就是客户端安装好系统的root密码。

#生成你想要的密码的加密字符串,然后复制运行命令之后的加密代码；

[root@node2 ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt ‘hahaha‘ ‘123456‘
$1$hahaha$hSxFjZSHRoiEn4DYrrGUI.

#然后替换/etc/cobbler/settings 中选项双引号中的加密代码；

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
default_password_crypted: "$1$hahaha$hSxFjZSHRoiEn4DYrrGUI."

6.重新启动Cobbler并运行检查命令

[root@node2 ~]# service cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon:                  [确定]
Starting cobbler daemon:                  [确定]
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler check
No configuration problems found. All systems go.

好了，到这里我们Cobbler安装就全部完成了，最后我们来查看一下启动的端口。

[root@node2 ~]# netstat -ntulp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address        Foreign Address       State    PID/Programname

udp    0   0 0.0.0.0:69         0.0.0.0:*                12747/xinetd

四、Cobbler 配置详解

主要的 Cobbler 配置文件是 /etc/cobbler/settings。使用文本编辑器打开这个文件，并设置以下选项：

manage_dhcp：1
manage_sync：1
manage_tftpd：1
restart_dhcp：1
restart_dns：1
pxe_just_once：1
next_server：<服务器的 IP 地址>
server：<服务器的 IP 地址>

选项 manage_* 和 restart_* 无需加以说明。选项 next_server 用在 DHCP 配置文件中，向客户端告知提供引导文件的服务器地址。选项 server 在客户端安装期间用于引用 Cobbler 服务器地址。最后，选项 pxe_just_once 预防将机器中的安装循环配置为始终从网络引导。激活此选项时，机器告诉 Cobbler 安装已完成。Cobbler 将系统对象的 netboot 标志更改为 false，这会强制机器从本地磁盘引导。好了，下面我们配置并管理dhcp服务与http服务。

1.让Cobbler来管理DHCP服务器

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
manage_dhcp: 1

2.修改DHCP模板

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
subnet 192.168.18.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.18.254;
option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.18.221 192.168.18.225;
filename "/pxelinux.0";
default-lease-time21600;
max-lease-time43200;
next-server $next_server;
}

3.重新启动Cobbler服务

[root@node2 ~]# service cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon:                  [确定]
Starting cobbler daemon:                  [确定]

4.编辑/etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf 去掉注释（测试时本来就没有注释）

[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

5.完成后一定要运行cobbler sync 命令让配置生效，使dhcp、http被cobbler接管，不然会报错。

[root@node2 ~]# cobbler sync
