一、前言
在上篇博客中我们讲解了cobbler命令的详细使用，并在最后我们详细的讲解了Cobbler安装CentOS5.5全部过程，不清楚的博友可以先参考上一篇博文（http://freeloda.blog.51cto.com/2033581/1323620），在这一篇博客中我们主要和大家总结一下上几篇博客讲解的内容，并详细讲解一下自定义Kickstart文件与Cobbler相关目录的说明，最后以一个实际案例做结尾。好了，废话不多说，下面我们先来回顾一下Cobbler工作原理。
二、Cobbler 工作原理详解
1.概述
在前几篇博客中我们和大家说了，Cobbler集众家之长支持众多有服务，我在这里简单的说一下Cobbler集成了哪些服务，
- PXE 服务
- DHCP服务管理
- DNS服务管理
- HTTP服务管理
- TFTP服务管理
- Kickstart服务
- yum仓库管理
- 电源管理
2.工作流程
(1).需要安装系统的客户端主机的网卡支持网络安装，也就是支持以PXE模式启动。如下图，
(2).客户端主机需要有一个IP地址来与Cobbler Server进行通信，这时网络中必须要有一个主机能自动分配IP。DHCP就是一个能为客户端主机自动分配IP地址的服务，DHCP就是安装在Cobbler Server主机上。
(3).客户端得到IP地址后，需要提供一个引导程序pxelinux.0(类似于grub) 此文件由syslinux程序提供，所以需要安装syslinux并且能加载内核及内核镜像文件（vmlinuz与initrd.img），客户端可以通过TFTP协议到TFTP Server上下载内核及内核镜像文件（vmlinuz与initrd.img），所以需要一个TFTP 服务，TFTP也是安装在Cobbler Server主机上，客户端只是知道可以用TFTP协议下载文件，但是TFTP Server的IP是那个，这个还得需要DHCP服务器指名告诉客户端那个是TFTP Server(注，所以我们在配置DHCP模板时指定next-server，同时指定了filename，这里的filename就是指定的pxelinux.0引导程序)，而TFTP服务需要超级进程进行管理，此进程是xinetd，因此需要在Cobbler Server上安装xinet服务。下面是DHCP模板的部分内容，
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
subnet 192.168.18.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.18.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.18.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.18.221 192.168.18.225;
filename "/pxelinux.0"; #指定的网络引导程序
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
next-server $next_server; #指定的TFTP服务器的地址
(4).客户端完全自动化部署操作系统，则需要一个kickstart文件，默认使用的是/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/default.ks文件，我们也可以自己自定义一个kickstart文件，自定义kickstart文件可以自己手动的编写，也可以用system-config-kickstart工具进行生成，如果需要则可以在Cobbler Server上安装system-config-kickstart工具生成一个kickstart文件。
(5).已经有了kickstart文件，需要在kickstart文件中指定一个参数，告诉客户端以什么方式安装（http/ftp/nfs等），这里的参数指的就是到哪里去找安装源（安装源就是指安装系统所需的软件），这样的方式可以是nfs，ftp，http等，选择其一即可，Cobbler Server在此选择以http方式提供安装源。
3.Cobbler 所依赖的软件包
注，上述流程可以得到Cobbler安装软件所需的主要的依赖性包。
dhcp 提供IP地址、指名TFTP Server的地址、指定pxelinux文件 tftp-server 提供引导所需的文件、内核文件、内核镜像文件等 xinetd 管理tftp服务的超级进程 syslinux 提供pxelinux文件 system-config-kickstart 生成kickstart文件 httpd 提供安装源 cman 提供电源管理 其它依赖包
好了，刚才我们重新整理一下Cobbler的工作原理，希望可以帮助大家理解。下面我们来看一下Cobbler的常用命令！
三、Cobbler 常用命令汇总
1.导入镜像文件
命令：cobbler import --path=镜像路径 -- name=安装引导名 --arch=32位或64位
参数：
- path 是镜像所挂载的目录
- name 是导入到cobbler里面显示的名字
- arch 是32位系统还是64位系统
2.导入kickstart文件
命令：cobbler profile add --name=list名 --distro=镜像 --kickstart=路径
参数：
- name是表示添加的ks 的名字，用cobbler report可以看到这个名字
- distro 是用哪个镜像，list的distros里面选择一个，需要版本相对应
- kickstart 是具体的 ks 文件路径
3.同步DHCP、HTTPD
命令：cobbler sync
注，每次修改完dhcp.template之类的配置文件需要执行一次使其生效。
4.查看Cobbler列表
命令：cobbler list
注，列出Cobbler所有的元素。
5.删除相关列表
命令：cobbler distro/profile remove --name=要删除的引导文件名
- 删除指定 distro , 也就是镜像
- 删除指定的 profile 文件，也就是 ks
四、Cobbler 各种目录说明(注，这里只介绍重点的文件或目录 )
1.cobbler配置文件目录/etc/cobbler

• /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log cobbler日志1.默认的Kickstart文件
[root@node2 kickstarts]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/
[root@node2 kickstarts]# ls
default.ks legacy.ks sample_end.ks sample_esxi5.ks sample.seed
esxi4-ks.cfg pxerescue.ks sample_esx4.ks sample.ks
esxi5-ks.cfg sample_autoyast.xml sample_esxi4.ks sample_old.seed
注，一般sample.ks与sample_end.ks用的比较多，下面我们来查看一下。
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler report

注，大家可以看到默认的Kickstart文件，有许多地方并不符合我们的安装需求，如：默认时区不符合、分区不符合等。所以，我们得自定义Kickstart文件。
2.自定义Kickstart文件
一般两种方案：
- 手动的修改已有的Kickstart文件
- 用system-config-kickstart工具生成Kickstart文件
(1).手动的修改已有的Kickstart文件
注，手动修改已存在的Kickstart文件，其中有两个地方有Kickstart文件。一个在root家目录下的anaconda-ks.cfg文件，另一个就是我们默认的/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.ks文件。其中anaconda-ks.cfg文件中有我们需要的时区信息、分区信息等，而sample.ks文件有我们需要的其它信息。我们可以手动修改一下，整理出我们需要的Kickstart文件。好了，下面我们就来手动的修改一下。
注，查看默认的 anaconda-ks.cfg 文件。
[root@node2 ~]# cat anaconda-ks.cfg

好了，到这里我们的手动修改Kickstart文件就全部讲解完成了，下面我们来说一下怎么用system-config-kickstart工具生成Kickstart文件。
(2).用system-config-kickstart工具生成Kickstart文件
注，首先我们得用yum安装一下system-config-kickstart工具。
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y system-config-kickstart
注，下面我们就来具体演示一下怎么生成Kickstart文件。
[root@node2 ~]# system-config-kickstart
注，修改相关选项，设置时区、设置根口令、选择“安装后重新引导系统”。
注，选择“执行新安装”、安装方法选择“http”设置相关参数。
注，这里选择“清除主引导记录”、“删除所有现在分区”、“不要初始化磁盘标签”、设置分区。
注，配置网络信息，增加eth0设置为DHCP获得。
注，验证这里全部默认不需要修改。
注，设置防火墙与SELinux为禁用状态。
注，显示配置我这里安装了图形环境，你可以根据需要设置是否安装。首次引导设置代理“禁用”。
注，软件包这边我选择了“开发工具”，其它都没有选择其实就是默认安装。
注，语言支持这边我们选择是“中文支持”。
注，预安装脚本与安装后脚本可以根据需求自定义配置。
注，先预览一下我们的配置的Kickstart文件，发现在没有问题我们保存一下就好。
注，发现在没有问题了，我们保存一下。

好了，到这里我们的自定义Kickstart文件就全部讲解完成了，下面我们来说一下怎么将自定义的Kickstart文件与导入的镜像文件相关联。
3.将自定义的Kickstart文件与导入的镜像文件相关联
(1).查看一下导入的镜像文件
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler list
distros:
CentOS-5.5-x86_64
CentOS-5.5-xen-x86_64
profiles:
CentOS-5.5-x86_64
CentOS-5.5-xen-x86_64
systems:
repos:
p_w_picpaths:
mgmtclasses:
packages:
files:
注，大家可以看到我们导入的是CentOS5.5镜像，下面我们再来查看一下此镜像对就的Kickstart文件。
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler report
注，上面一些内容省略。
profiles:
==========
Name : CentOS-5.5-x86_64
TFTP Boot Files : {}
Comment :
DHCP Tag : default
Distribution : CentOS-5.5-x86_64
Enable gPXE? : 0
Enable PXE Menu? : 1
Fetchable Files : {}

Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample.ks
Kickstart Metadata : {}
Management Classes : []
Management Parameters : <<inherit>>

……
注，大家可以看到现在默认的Kickstart文件是sample.ks，现在我就来修改一下设置Kickstart文件文件为我们手动修改的Kickstart文件。
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler profile edit --name=CentOS-5.5-x86_64 --distro=CentOS-5.5-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos.ks
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler report
注，上面一些内容省略。

Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/centos.ks
……
好了，大家可以看到现在使用的Kickstart文件是我们自定义的Kickstart文件了，客户端再安装系统就会使用的我们定义Kickstart文件去执行。到这里我们的自定义Kickstart文件就全部讲解完成，最后我们来讲解一个案例来结束我们本篇博客。
六、Cobbler 实战案例安装CentOS6.4
1.实验拓扑
2.安装yum源
[root@node2 ~]# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.N9dqlP: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:epel-release ########################################### [100%]
3.同步系统时间
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y ntp
[root@node2 ~]# ntpdate 202.120.2.101
13 Nov 15:14:52 ntpdate[1174]: step time server 202.120.2.101 offset -28799.776629 sec
[root@node2 ~]# hwclock -w
4.安装Cobbler基础包
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y cobbler tftp dhcp httpd cman pykickstart debmirror
5.安装Cobbler依赖包
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y ed patch perl perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Digest-SHA1 perl-LockFile-Simple perl-libwww-perl
6.将所有服务加入开机自启动
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig httpd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig dhcpd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig xinetd on
[root@node2 ~]# chkconfig cobblerd on
7.修改httpd配置文件并启动httpd
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ServerName 127.0.0.1:80
[root@node2 ~]# service httpd start
正在启动 httpd： [确定]
[root@node2 ~]# netstat -ntulp | grep :80
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 1525/httpd
8.启动Cobbler服务并执行检查命令
[root@node2 ~]# service cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon: [确定]
[root@node2 ~]# 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 : 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.
4 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync
5 : comment out 'dists' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support
6 : comment out 'arches' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support
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
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
9.解决上述相关配置错误
(1).错误1，修改/etc/cobbler/settings 里面的 server 为Cobbler Server的IP地址 ；
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
server: 192.168.18.202
(2).错误2，修改/etc/cobbler/settings 里面的 next_serverw 为本机的 ip；
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
next_server: 192.168.18.202
(3).错误3，据说这个错误可以忽略，有强迫完美运行症的人士可以运行以下命令来解决；

*** TASK COMPLETE ***
(4).错误4，修改/etc/xinetd.d/tftp 把'disable' 修改为'no'；修改/etc/xinetd.d/rsync 把'disable' 修改为'no'；
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
disable = no
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/rsync
disable = no
注，启动xinetd服务。
[root@node2 ~]# service xinetd start
正在启动 xinetd： [确定]
(5).错误5与错误6，debmmirror有错误；
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/debmirror.conf
#注释掉@dists="sid"与@arches="i386即可
#@dists="sid";
#@arches="i386";
(6).错误7，设置默认root密码；
注，刚接触Cobbler的博友会问，这个密码是什么密码。有的博友系统安装好了会问，root密码是什么。这里设置的就是客户端安装好系统的root密码。
注，生成你想要的密码的加密字符串,然后复制运行命令之后的加密代码；
[root@node2 ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt 'hahaha' '123456'
$1$hahaha$hSxFjZSHRoiEn4DYrrGUI.
注，然后替换/etc/cobbler/settings 中选项双引号中的加密代码；
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
default_password_crypted: "$1$hahaha$hSxFjZSHRoiEn4DYrrGUI."
10.重新启动Cobbler并运行检查命令
[root@node2 ~]# service cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [确定]
Starting cobbler daemon: [确定]
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : service dhcpd is not running
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
11.修改DHCP模板
[root@node2 ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
subnet 192.168.18.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.18.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.18.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.18.221 192.168.18.225;
filename "/pxelinux.0";
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
next-server $next_server;
12.执行一下同步操作并检查配置文件
[root@node2 ~]# cobbler sync
