Cobbler自动化部署
cobbler简介
Cobbler 可以用来快速建立 Linux 网络安装环境，它已将Linux网络安装的技术门槛，从大专以上文化水平，成功降低到了初中水平，连补鞋匠都能学会。
网络安装服务器套件Cobbler（补鞋匠）从前，我们一直在装机民工这份很有前途的职业。自打若干年前Red Hat推出了 Kickstart，此后我们顿觉身价增倍。不再需要刻了光盘一台一台的安装Linux，只要搞定PXE、DHCP、TFTP，还有那满屏眼花缭乱不知所云的Kickstart脚本，我们就可以像哈利波特一样，轻点魔棒，瞬间安装上百台服务器。这一堆花里胡哨的东西可不是一般人能够整明白的，没有大专以上的学历，通不过英语四级，根本别想玩转。总而言之，这是一份多么有前途，多么有技术含量的工作啊。很不幸，Red Hat 最新（Cobbler项目最初在2008年左右发布）发布了网络安装服务器套件Cobbler（补鞋匠），它已将Linux网络安装的技术门槛，从大专以上文化水平，成功降低到初中以下水平，连补鞋匠都能学会。
1、Cobbler是一个Linux服务器安装的服务，可以通过网络启动（PXE）的方式来快速安装、重装物理服务器和虚拟机，同时还可以管理DHCP，DNS等。
2、Cobbler可以使用命令行方式管理，也提供了基于Web的界面管理工具（cobbler-web），还提供了API接口，可以方便二次开发使用。
3、Cobbler是较早前的kickstart的升级版，优点是比较容易配置，还自带web界面比较易于管理。
4、Cobbler内置了一个轻量级配置管理系统，但它也支持和其它配置管理系统集成，如Puppet。

cobbler对应关系
Cobbler的配置结构基于一组注册的对象。每个对象表示一个与另一个实体相关联的实体。当一个对象指向另一个对象时，它就继承了被指向对象的数据，并可覆盖或添加更多特定信息。
- 发行版(
distros)： 表示一个操作系统。它承载了内核和initrd的信息，以及内核参数等其他数据。 - 配置文件(
profiles)：包含一个发行版、一个kickstart文件以及可能的存储库，还包括更多特定的内核参数等其他数据。 - 系统(
systems)：表示要配给的机器。它包括一个配置文件或一个镜像、IP和MAC地址、电源管理（地址、凭据、类型）以及更为专业的数据等信息。 - 镜像(
images)：可以替换一个保函不屑于此类别的文件的发行版对象（例如，无法分为内核和initrd的对象）。
cobbler集成的服务

cobbler工作原理
Server端
- 启动
Cobbler服务 - 进行
Cobbler错误检查，执行cobbler check命令 - 进行配置同步，执行
cobbler sync命令 - 复制相关启动文件到
TFTP目录中 - 启动
DHCP服务，提供地址分配 DHCP服务分配IP地址TFTP传输启动文件Server端接收安装信息Server端发送ISO镜像与Kickstart文件
Client端
- 客户端以
PXE模式启动 - 客户端获取
IP地址 - 通过
TFTP服务器获取启动文件 - 进入
Cobbler安装选择界面 - 根据配置信息准备安装系统
- 加载
Kickstart文件 - 传输系统安装的其它文件
- 进行安装系统
cobbler安装
说明：虚拟机网卡采用NAT模式或者仅主机模式，不要使用桥接模式，因为后面会搭建DHCP服务器，在同一个局域网多个DHCP服务会有冲突。
VMware的NAT模式的dhcp服务也关闭，避免干扰。
环境准备

配置cobbler
检查Cobbler的配置，如果看不到下面的结果，再次重启cobbler
[root@cobbler ~]# 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 : 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 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart 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.
看到上面出现的问题，然后一个一个的进行解决，先进行设置为可以动态配置，也可以直接更改配置文件。
# 设置可以动态修改配置文件 [root@cobbler ~]# sed -ri '/allow_dynamic_settings:/callow_dynamic_settings: 1' /etc/cobbler/settings [root@cobbler ~]# grep allow_dynamic_settings /etc/cobbler/settings allow_dynamic_settings: 1 [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd
逐个解决上面的问题
1. server [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=server --value=192.168.2.128 2. next_server [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=next_server --value=192.168.2.128 3. tftp_server [root@cobbler ~]# sed -ri '/disable/cdisable = no' /etc/xinetd.d/tftp [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl enable xinetd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl restart xinetd 4. boot-loaders [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler get-loaders 5. rsyncd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl start rsyncd [root@cobbler ~]# systemctl enable rsyncd 6. debmirror [optional] # 这个是可选项的，可以忽略。这里就忽略了 7. pykickstart [root@cobbler ~]# yum -y install pykickstart 8. default_password_crypted #注意：这里设置的密码，也就是后面安装完系统的初始化登录密码 [root@cobbler ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt `openssl rand -hex 4` 'admin' $1$675f1d08$oJoAMVxdbdKHjQXbGqNTX0 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=default_password_crypted --value='$1$675f1d08$oJoAMVxdbdKHjQXbGqNTX0' 9. fencing tools [optional] [root@cobbler ~]# yum -y install fence-agents
解决完成再次查看
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler check The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix: 1 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
配置DHCP
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler setting edit --name=manage_dhcp --value=1
# 修改cobbler的dhcp模块，不要直接修改dhcp本身的配置文件，因为cobbler会覆盖
[root@cobbler ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
...
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { #这里改为分配的网段和掩码
#option routers 192.168.1.5; #如果有网关，这里改为网关地址
#option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; #如果有DNS，这里改为DNS地址
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; #改为分配的IP的掩码
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.2.100 192.168.2.254; #改为分配的IP的范围
...
同步cobbler配置
同步cobbler配置，它会根据配置自动修改dhcp等服务。

cobbler配置安装centos6.x
由于我这里实在centos7系统上面配置的cobbler，所以上传了一个centos6的镜像并进行挂载。
1）创建挂载点，并进行挂载
[root@cobbler ~]# mkdir /centos6 [root@cobbler ~]# mount -o loop CentOS-6.9-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso /centos6
2）查看挂载后的目录
[root@cobbler ~]# ls /centos6/ CentOS_BuildTag images repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Testing-6 EFI isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 TRANS.TBL EULA Packages RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Debug-6 GPL RELEASE-NOTES-en-US.html RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Security-6
3）导入镜像
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler import --path=/centos6 --name=centos6.9 --arch=x86_64 # --path 镜像路径 # --name 为安装源定义一个名字 # --arch 指定安装源是32位、64位、ia64, 目前支持的选项有: x86│x86_64│ia64 # 安装源的唯一标示就是根据name参数来定义，本例导入成功后，安装源的唯一标示就是：centos6.9，如果重复，系统会提示导入失败。
4）查看导入后镜像信息

6）copy一份profile文件(ks)，进行修改
[root@cobbler ~]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# ls

%end
7）编辑centos6镜像所使用的kickstart文件
# 动态编辑指定使用新的kickstart文件 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile edit --name=centos6.9-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos6.ks # 验证是否更改成功 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile report --name=centos6.9-x86_64 |grep Kickstart Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos6.ks
8）再次同步cobbler配置
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler sync
9）新建虚拟机进行测试
选择centos6.9进行安装，会按照kickstart文件安装并启动
cobbler配置安装centos7.x
我这里cobbler服务器就是7的系统，所以直接挂载/dev/cdrom即可
1）创建挂载点，并进行挂载
[root@cobbler ~]# mkdir /centos7 [root@cobbler ~]# mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /centos7
2）查看挂载后的目录
[root@cobbler ~]# ls /centos7/ CentOS_BuildTag EULA images LiveOS repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Testing-7 EFI GPL isolinux Packages RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 TRANS.TBL
3）导入镜像
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler import --path=/centos7 --name=centos7.4 --arch=x86_64 task started: 2019-06-12_165812_import task started (id=Media import, time=Wed Jun 12 16:58:12 2019) 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/centos7.4-x86_64: creating new distro: centos7.4-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos7.4-x86_64 -> /var/www/cobbler/links/centos7.4-x86_64 creating new profile: centos7.4-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/centos7.4-x86_64 for centos7.4-x86_64 processing repo at : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos7.4-x86_64 need to process repo/comps: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos7.4-x86_64 looking for /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos7.4-x86_64/repodata/*comps*.xml Keeping repodata as-is :/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos7.4-x86_64/repodata *** TASK COMPLETE ***
4）查看导入后镜像信息

7）编辑centos7镜像所使用的kickstart文件
# 动态编辑指定使用新的kickstart文件 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile edit --name=centos7.4-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos7.ks # 验证是否更改成功 [root@cobbler ~]# cobbler profile report --name=centos7.4-x86_64 |grep Kickstart Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos7.ks
8）再次同步cobbler配置
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler sync
9）新建虚拟机进行测试
选择centos7.4进行安装即可
说明：在client端系统安装时，可以在cobbler服务端上查看日志/var/log/messages，观察安装的每一个流程
cobbler Web管理界面配置
web界面有很多功能，包括上传镜像、编辑kickstart、等等很多在命令行操作的都可以在web界面直接操作。
在上面已经安装了cobbler-web软件，访问地址：https://IP/cobbler_web 即可。默认账号为cobbler，密码也为cobbler
修改密码
