cobbler+Koan介绍

           Cobbler作为一个预备工具，使部署Red Hat/Centos/Fedora系统更容易，同时也支持Suse和Debian系统的部署。

它提供以下服务集成：

                         * PXE服务支持

                         * DHCP服务管理

                         * DNS服务管理

                         * Kickstart服务支持

                         * yum仓库管理

               Cobbler客户端Koan支持虚拟机安装和操作系统重新安装。

服务端安装cobbler

1、安装epel yum仓库

Wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

2、安装cobbler server所需要的安装包：

Yum -y install cobbler httpd xinetd tftp-server yum-utils rsync dhcp

3、配置dhcp服务：

cat>/etc/dhcpd.conf<

ddns-update-style interim;

allow booting;

allow bootp;

ignore client-updates;

set vendorclass = option vendor-class-identifier;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# option routers 192.168.0.1;

option domain-name-servers 202.85.220.196,202.106.0.20;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.254;

filename "/pxelinux.0";

default-lease-time 21600;

max-lease-time 43200;

next-server 192.168.0.2;

}

EOF

4、启动dhcp、cobbler、httpd服务

/etc/init.d/dhcpd start

/etc/init.d/cobblerd restart

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

5、运行cobbler check命令，会有如下提示出现

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 : you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler works correctly in your SELinux environment, run the following: /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*" && \ /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/www/cobbler/p_w_picpaths/.*"

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 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

6 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

7 : since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked

8 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories

9 : 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

6、修复上述错误，步骤如下：

(1) 修改/etc/cobbler/setings文件：

HostIP=$(/sbin/ip addr show dev eth1 | sed -n 3p | awk '{print $2}'| awk -F\/ '{print $1}')

sed -i 's/^\(server:\).*$/\1 '$HostIP'/g' /etc/cobbler/settings

sed -i 's/^\(next_server:\).*$/\1 '$HostIP'/g' /etc/cobbler/settings

(2) 修改xinetd下的tftp、rsync配置文件

sed -i 's/disable.*$/disable = no/g' /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

sed -i 's/disable.*$/disable = no/g' /etc/xinetd.d/rsync

(3) 关闭iptalbles防火墙：

/etc/init.d/iptables stop

(4) 下载cobbler所需扩展安装包：

cobbler get-loaders

(5) 安装debmirror和cman

yum -y install debmirror cman

(6) 修改系统初始密码

使用openssl生成新密码：

openssl passwd -1 -salt '' '123456'

clip_p_w_picpath002

修改/etc/cobbler/setings文件中“default_password_crypted”字段为openssl生成的新密码

重新启动cobblerd，在此使用cobbler check检查系统，只出现如下提示，可以不用管

自动化安装操作系统:Cobbler+Koan安装配置使用_第1张图片

配置使用cobbler

1、在服务端挂载Linux安装盘，生成安装镜像

mount -o loop /usr/src/iso/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso /mnt

cobbler import --path=/mnt --name=CentOS5.5

2、使用cobbler list命令查看导入的镜像和配置文件

[root@testA cobbler]# cobbler list

distros:

CentOS5.5-x86_64

CentOS5.5-xen-x86_64

profiles:

CentOS5.5-x86_64

CentOS5.5-xen-x86_64

systems:

repos:

p_w_picpaths:

3、为cobbler添加RPM仓库：

cobbler repo add --name=CentOS-5-i386 --mirror=http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/i386/

cobbler repo add --name=EPEL-5-i386--mirror=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/

同步仓库到本地：

cobbler reposync

也可以通过设置--mirror-locally=0不下载到本地，而通过kickstart server去仓库下载rpm包。

4、配置添加kickstart文件：

Kickstart文件可在图形界面下的终端中输入：system-config-kickstart，然后通过图形界面的Kickstart Configurator生成，或是参考已安装好系统机器中的anaconda-ks.cfg文件

下面是一个用Kickstart Configurator生成的ks文件

#platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T

#version=DEVEL

# Firewall configuration

firewall --disabled

# Install OS instead of upgrade

install

# Use network installation

url --url="http://192.168.0.2/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS5.5/"

# Root password

5、设置profile和system

(1) profile可以理解为按角色进行分类

下面是几个添加删除修改profile配置的例子：

添加profile配置，名称为：CenOS5.5，指定镜像为：CentOS5.5-x86_64，kickstart文件为/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS5.ks

cobbler profile add --name=CentOS5.5 --distro=CentOS5.5-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/CentOS5.ks

修改profile文件，名称为：CentOS5.5，指定镜像由CentOS5.5-x86_64修改为CentOS5.5-i386

cobbler profile add --name=CentOS5.5 --distro=CentOS5.5-i386

变更profile配置名称，名称由CenOS5.5修改为CentOS5.5-i386

cobbler profile rename --name=CentOS5.5 –newname=CentOS5.5-i386

删除profile配置，需要删除的profile名称为CenOS5.5

cobbler profile remove --name=CentOS5.5

注意：修改删除profile，profile必须存在。

(2) system是对待安装机器做具体设置，如设置主机名、IP地址、hostname等，这些设置根据MAC应用到具体机器上。

下面是几个添加删除修改system的例子：

添加system配置，配置文件名称：webserver1，机器IP地址192.168.0.110，机器MAC地址：00:0C:29:77:89:c7，使用配置文件名称：webserver，kickstart文件为：/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/webserver.ks

cobbler system add --name=webserver1 --ip=192.168.0.110 --mac=00:0C:29:77:89:c7 --profile=webserver --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/webserver.ks --static=1

修改system配置，配置文件名称：webserver1，机器IP地址由192.168.0.110变更为192.168.10.110

cobbler system add --name=webserver1 --ip=192.16810.110

变更system配置名称，名称由webserver1变更成dbserver1

cobbler system rename --name= webserver1 –newname= dbserver1

删除system配置，需要删除的profile名称为dberver1

cobbler system remove --name=dbserver1

首次安装操作系统

1、 将需要安装系统的服务器，以下简称客户端，放到和cobbler服务端同样的子网中。

2、 启动cobbler服务端上的cobblerd等相关服务。

3、 从PXE启动客户端主机。

(1) 客户端寻找设置DHCP。

(2) 客户端从PXE启动。

(3) 客户端进入cobbler profile选择界面，用户可以根据应用的不同，选择不同的cobbler配置文件。

重新安装服务器的操作系统

1、在客户端上安装koan

yum install koan

2、查看cobbler server上的配置文件

koan --server=192.168.0.2 --list=profiles

3、重新安装客户端系统

koan --replace-self --server=192.168.0.2 --profile=webserver1

4、reboot重启服务器后，客户端服务器会自动重新安装操作系统

cobbler BUG修复

yum安装的cobbler有一个BUG。如果服务器端上面的80端口被占用。我们肯定会想到修改Apache的http.conf文件的Listen字段来更改端口，然后再修改/etc/cobbler/settings的http_port字段更改端口，后重新启动cobblerd。

修改Apache配置文件/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

但此时再次使用cobbler sync同步时会提示如下错误：

解决办法如下：

删除” /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/”目录下的pxegen.py相关文件

rm –rf /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/pxegen.py*

下载附件中的pxegen.py，然后同步到"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/”目录下，

附 录

Pxegen.py代码修改：

第211行添加：
