简介：
关于操作系统安装方面的自动化，早前我们使用 RedHat 推出的 Kickstart 来批量安装操作系统，近年来 RedHat 又推出一个 Cobbler 。
Cobbler 使用 Python 开发，小巧轻便，能够完成系统安装、甚至一些服务的管理。（ 号称是补鞋匠都能学会的工具 ）
Cobbler 支持命令行管理、web 界面管理、还提供了 API 接口，以便二次开法。
## 关闭 SELinux 、iptables ！！！
一、支撑环境安装
shell > yum -y install epel-release ## 安装 epel 源shell > yum -y install cobbler httpd rsync tftp-server xinetd dhcp pykickstart fence-agents
二、配置 Tftp 、Rsync
shell > vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftpservice tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
disable = no ## 原为 yes
per_source =
cps =
flags = IPv4
}shell > vim /etc/xinetd.d/rsyncservice rsync
{
disable = no ## 原为 yes
flags = IPv6
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/rsync
server_args = --daemon
log_on_failure += USERID
}shell > vim /etc/httpd/confServerName 127.0.0.1:
## 这个东西大家都知道。
二、配置 Cobbler
shell > openssl passwd - -salt 'random-phrase-here' ''
$$random-p$mzxQ/Sx848sXgvfwJCoZM0
## 生成 root 密码（ 此密码为新安装的客户机 root 密码 ）
shell > vim /etc/cobbler/settingsmanage_dhcp: ## 原为 manage_tftpd: manage_rsync: ## 原为 next_server: 192.168.214.10 ## 本机 IPserver: 192.168.214.10 ## 本机 IPdefault_password_crypted: "$1$random-p$mzxQ/Sx848sXgvfwJCoZM0" ## 生成的 root 密码
三、配置 DHCP
shell > vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template ## 直接修改这个文件即可subnet 192.168.214.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.214.2;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.214.100 192.168.214.120;
default-lease-time ;
max-lease-time ;
next-server $next_server;
## 只修改这个区域的 IP 为合适的 IP 即可
shell > chkconfig --add httpd
shell > chkconfig --add xinetd
shell > chkconfig --add dhcpd
shell > chkconfig --add cobblerd
shell > service httpd start
正在启动 httpd：
shell > service xinetd start
正在启动 xinetd： [确定]
shell > service dhcpd start
正在启动 dhcpd： [失败]
shell > service cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon: [确定]shell > cobbler check ## 检查配置

The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix: : service dhcpd is not running
: debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositoriesRestart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.## ：提示 dhcpd 没有运行，先不管
## ：提示 debmirror 没有安装。如果不是安装 debian 之类的系统，可以忽略此提示。
（如需安装，下载地址为：http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=debmirror）shell > cobbler sync ## 同步操作

三、导入安装源
shell > mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/shell > cobbler import --path=/mnt/ --arch=x86_64 --name=Centos-6.6-minimal
## 输出信息略（Cobbler 将镜像拷贝一份放在 /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64 目录下）
（同时会创建一个名为 Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64 的发布版本及 profile 文件）
shell > cobbler list
distros:
Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64profiles:
Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64systems:repos:images:mgmtclasses:packages:files:
四、创建 ks 文件
shell > vim /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/Centos-.6_minimal-x86_64.ks# platform=x86, AMD64, 或 Intel EM64T
# version=DEVEL
# Firewall configuration
firewall --disabled
# Install OS instead of upgrade
install
# Use network installation
url --url="http://192.168.214.10/cobbler/ks_mirror/Centos-6.6-minimal-x84_64/"
# Root password
rootpw --iscrypted $$hk0MvN4A$Dz.sYvyDjac1.cMVTk9270
# System authorization information
auth --useshadow --passalgo=sha512
# Use text mode install
text
# System keyboard
keyboard us
# System language
lang zh_CN
# SELinux configuration
selinux --disabled
# Do not configure the X Window System
skipx
# Installation logging level
logging --level=info
# Reboot after installation
reboot
# System timezone
timezone --isUtc Asia/Shanghai
# Network information
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on
# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
# Disk partitioning information
part /boot --fstype="ext4" --size=
part swap --fstype="swap" --size=
part / --fstype="ext4" --grow --size=
## 这是我安装了 system-config-kickstart 在图形界面生成的 ks 文件。
## 看到第一行注释行中有一个汉字了吗？就是这个汉字让我卡了两天…（ 文件中不要有汉字 ）
五、关联 ks 文件
shell > cobbler distro list
Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64
## 有一个镜像
shell > cobbler profile report --name Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64
Name : Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64

## 看到这个镜像默认使用的 ks 文件为 /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample_end.ks
shell > cobbler profile add --name=Centos-6.6-minimal --distro=Centos-6.6-minimal-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/Centos-.6_minimal-x86_64.ks
## 关联后，再次查看是否关联成功
shell > cobbler profile report --name Centos-6.6-minimal

## 它有多种方法，添加、编辑、移除等等（ 用到时，请自己琢磨 ）。
shell > cobbler sync
## 同步一下配置，客户端开机测试
## 从网络引导进入后，会有一个选择列表，选择要安装 profile ，就可以自动完成安装。
## 修改 ks.cfg 文件后，不需要 sync 就可以直接生效！
## 如果不想关闭防火墙，那么请打开 TCP ( 69、80、25151 ) 端口。
## 遇到问题仔细观察，ks.cfg 中一定不能有中文，注释行也不可以！
