Cobbler无人值守安装

警告
本文最后更新于 2020-01-19,文中内容可能已过时。

1. Cobbler 运行流程

  • Server 端:

    • 第一步:启动 Cobbler 服务
    • 第二步:进行 Cobbler 错误检查,执行 Cobbler check 命令
    • 第三步:进行配置同步,执行 Cobbler sync 命令
    • 第四步:复制相关启动文件文件到 TFTP 目录中
    • 第五步:启动 DHCP 服务,提供地址分配
    • 第六步:DHCP 服务分配 IP 地址
    • 第七步:TFTP 传输启动文件
    • 第八步:Server 端接收安装信息
    • 第九步:Server 端发送 ISO 镜像不 Kickstart 文件
  • Client 端:

    • 第一步:客户端以 PXE 模式启动
    • 第二步:客户端获取 IP 地址
    • 第三步:通过 TFTP 服务器获取启动文件
    • 第四步:进入 Cobbler 安装选择界面
    • 第五步:客户端确定加载信息
    • 第六步:根据配置信息准备安装系统
    • 第七步:加载 Kickstart 文件
    • 第八步:传输系统安装的其它文件
    • 第九步:进行安装系统

2. 搭建 Cobbler 无人值守安装服务器

1
$> yum install -y epel-release
1
$> yum install -y cobbler cobbler-web dhcp tftp-server pykickstart httpd rsync xinetd 

注意: 必须把yum源配好,否则无法全部安装以上软件!

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 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
4 : 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.
5 : enable and start rsyncd.service with systemctl
6 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
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.

以上问题我们需要逐步解决。

  • 问题 1:修改 server 地址为 192.168.1.7

$> vim /etc/cobbler/settings
改:390 server: 127.0.1

为:14 disable = no
顺便修改 xinetd 和 tftpd 服务开机启动
$> systemctl start xinetd tftp && systemctl enable xinetd tftp

management features. install cman or fence-agents to use them

修改完以上配置就可以检查 DHCP 配置了,由于 Cobbler 自动管理 DHCP 服务,我们只需要修改 Cobbler 中的模板配置文件即可。

$> vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
改:22 option routers 192.168.1.5; #修改默认网关地址
为:22 option routers 192.168.1.1; #以实际的网关为准
改:23 option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; #修改 DNS 地址
为:23 option domain-name-servers 114.114.114.114;
如下:

 21 subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
 22      option routers             192.168.1.1;
 23      option domain-name-servers 114.114.114.114;
 24      option subnet-mask         255.255.255.0;
 25      range dynamic-bootp        192.168.1.100 192.168.1.254;
 26      default-lease-time         21600;
 27      max-lease-time             43200;
 28      next-server                $next_server;

注:配置默认为 192.168.1.0 网段,具体要看你的装机 vlan 划分,现在是实验环境所以保持配不变。
注:默认网关地址为 192.168.1.5,这里需要改成你自己局域网中的网关。
$next_server 为变量值为我们前面修改的主配置文件中的地址 192.168.1.7
