下面我们来完成Cobbler服务的搭建：
Cobbler环境是由EPEL源提供的，我们先到站点下载EPEL源：
[root@CentOS7-1 Desktop]# yum -y install http://mirrors.163.com/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/epel-release-7-11.noarch.rpm ##安装EPEL源 [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# yum install cobbler cobbler-web dhcp tftp-server pykickstart httpd rsync xinetd -y ##安装系统部署所需所有服务
开启服务，设置开机自启动方便以后使用，关闭防火墙及增强安全功能：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart httpd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl enable cobblerd.service [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl stop firewalld [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# setenforce 0
执行cobbler check，检查需要优化的点，需要注意的是，优化完成后要重启服务使你的优化生效：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# cobbler check 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 : 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 4 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 5 : 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. 6 : enable and start rsyncd.service with systemctl 7 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories 8 : 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 9 : 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.
此时，我们按照上面需要优化的点逐步去优化：
修改cobbler配置文件：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings 将“next_server: 127.0.0.1”修改为“next_server: 192.168.117.130” ##指定PXE位置，这里用的为本机地址 将“server: 127.0.0.1”修改为“server: 192.168.117.130” 将"manage_dhcp: 0"修改为"manage_dhcp: 1" ##管理dhcp启动
修改cobbler默认密码：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt '123123' '123123' ##盐值加密 $1$abner$kDle2KnwbPHdm1UZEE79V. ##得到一串密码 [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings ##回setting文件搜索默认密码 default_password_crypted: "$1$mF86/UHC$WvcIcX2t6crBz2onWxyac." ##将得到的密码复制到双撇号内
下载引导操作系统文件：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# cobbler get-loaders task started: 2018-05-31_144102_get_loaders task started (id=Download Bootloader Content, time=Thu May 31 14:41:02 2018) downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/README to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/README downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/COPYING.elilo to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/COPYING.elilo downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/COPYING.yaboot to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/COPYING.yaboot downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/COPYING.syslinux to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/COPYING.syslinux downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/elilo-3.8-ia64.efi to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/elilo-ia64.efi downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/yaboot-1.3.17 to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/yaboot downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/pxelinux.0-3.86 to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/pxelinux.0 downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/menu.c32-3.86 to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/menu.c32 downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/grub-0.97-x86.efi to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86.efi downloading https://cobbler.github.io/loaders/grub-0.97-x86_64.efi to /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86_64.efi *** TASK COMPLETE *** ##显示任务完成
启用tftp服务：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, # and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
disable = no ##修改为no启用服务
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4配置cobbler控制的dhcp模板：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
##省略部分信息
set vendorclass = option vendor-class-identifier;
option pxe-system-type code 93 = unsigned integer 16;
subnet 192.168.117.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { //修改子网
option routers 192.168.117.1; //修改网关
option domain-name-servers 192.168.117.2; //修改DNS
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.117.100 192.168.117.200; //指定地址池，和cobbler服务器在同一网段
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
next-server $next_server;帮助生成DHCP配置文件：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# cobbler sync task started: 2018-05-31_145223_sync task started (id=Sync, time=Thu May 31 14:52:23 2018) running pre-sync triggers cleaning trees removing: /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/images copying bootloaders copying: /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/pxelinux.0 -> /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 copying: /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/menu.c32 -> /var/lib/tftpboot/menu.c32 copying: /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/yaboot -> /var/lib/tftpboot/yaboot copying: /usr/share/syslinux/memdisk -> /var/lib/tftpboot/memdisk copying: /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86.efi -> /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/grub-x86.efi copying: /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86_64.efi -> /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/grub-x86_64.efi copying distros to tftpboot copying images generating PXE configuration files generating PXE menu structure rendering TFTPD files generating /etc/xinetd.d/tftp cleaning link caches running post-sync triggers running python triggers from /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/sync/post/* running python trigger cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services running shell triggers from /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/sync/post/* running python triggers from /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/change/* running python trigger cobbler.modules.scm_track running shell triggers from /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/change/* *** TASK COMPLETE *** ##显示配置成功！
重启服务使配置生效：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart rsyncd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl enable rsyncd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart xinetd [root@CentOS7-1 ~]# systemctl restart dhcpd
再次执行cobbler check检查：
[root@CentOS7-1 ~]# cobbler check ##下面三条可以忽略不去处理 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.
导入iso镜像文件到cobbler中：
[root@CentOS7-1 cobbler]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt ##挂载镜像光盘到mnt目录中 mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@CentOS7-1 cobbler]# cobbler import --path=/mnt/ --name=CentOS-7-x86_64 --arch=x86_64 ##导入iso镜像 task started: 2018-05-31_150936_import task started (id=Media import, time=Thu May 31 15:09:36 2018) Found a candidate signature: breed=redhat, version=rhel6 Found a candidate signature: breed=redhat, version=rhel7 Found a matching signature: breed=redhat, version=rhel7 Adding distros from path /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64: creating new distro: CentOS-7-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64 -> /var/www/cobbler/links/CentOS-7-x86_64 creating new profile: CentOS-7-x86_64 associating repos checking for rsync repo(s) checking for rhn repo(s) checking for yum repo(s) starting descent into /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64 for CentOS-7-x86_64 processing repo at : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64 ##默认导入存放位置 need to process repo/comps: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64 looking for /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64/repodata/*comps*.xml Keeping repodata as-is :/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-7-x86_64/repodata *** TASK COMPLETE ***
