Cobbler介绍
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
Cobbler可以使用命令行方式管理,也提供了基于Web界面管理工具(cobbler-web),同时提供API接口用于二次开发。
Cobbler是较早前的Kickstart的升级版本,向较与Kickstart优点为更容易配置,且自带WEB界面。易于管理。
Cobbler原理
Cobbler是通过将DHCP、TFTP、DNS、HTTP等服务进行集成,创建一个中央管理节点,其可以实现的功能有配置服务,创建存储库,解压缩操作系统媒介,代理或集成一个配置管理系统,控制电源管理等。 Cobbler的最终目的是实现无需进行人工干预即可安装机器。在进行进一步的操作之前,我们有必要先了解下pxe和kickstart 。
Pxe(预执行环境)
PXE是让计算机通过网卡独立地使用数据设备(如硬盘)或者安装操作系统。PXE主要通过广播的方式发送一个包,并请求获取一个地址,而后交给TFTP程序下载一个引导文件。
Kickstart
Kickstart 是红帽开发的一种工具,我们可以简单理解为一个自动安装应答配置管理程序。通过读取这个配置文件,系统知道怎么去分区,要安装什么包,配什么IP,优化什么内核参数等等
原理视图及步骤
Server端
- 启动Cobbler及相关服务
- cobbler check检查错误
- 进行配置然后同步 cobbler sync
- DHCP配置
- TFTP传输启动文件
- Server端发送ISO镜像与Kickstart给客户端
Client端
- 以PXE启动
- 根据DHCP自动获取IP地址
- 加载Kickstart文件
- 进行系统安装
Cobbler部署
- 安装cobbler环境
[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y httpd dhcp tftp python-ctypes cobbler xinetd cobbler-web pykickstart epel-release
......
- 开启并自启服务
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now cobblerd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cobblerd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/cobblerd.service.
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now httpd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service.
- 修改server IP
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
......
# (dual homed, etc), you need to read the --server-override section
# of the manpage for how that works.
server: 192.168.197.144 ## 修改为本地IP
......
# of the cobbler server here so that PXE booting guests can find it
# if you do not set this correctly, this will be manifested in TFTP open timeouts.
next_server: 192.168.197.144 ## tftp服务的ip地址也填写为本地IP
- 开启tftp服务
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
......
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
disable = no ## 将状态修改为NO ,表示开启此服务
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
- 下载cobbler相关缺失文件
[root@localhost ~]# cobbler get-loaders
......
path /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/grub-x86_64.efi already exists, not overwriting existing content, use --force if you wish to update
*** TASK COMPLETE ***
- 开启rsync共享服务
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable --now rsyncd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rsyncd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyncd.service.
- 修改默认密码(默认密码为cobbler)
[root@localhost ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt "$RANDOM" '123456' # 先加密
$1$2512$pppPAr0KZoqb.iwWcOVFu0
## 写入配置文件
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
......
## 重启服务
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd
- cobbler check 检查是否还有错误
[root@localhost ~]# 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
2 : 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.
注意:
1的错误为需要Debian的必备包,如果安装的客户机的系统没有Debian,则不需要处理。
2的错误是电源管理的工具没有安装,如果需要电源管理则需要,如没有则忽略。
- 配置DHCP服务
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
......
# the choice of DHCP management engine is in /etc/cobbler/modules.conf
manage_dhcp: 1 # 将值改成1,即启动dhcp服务
[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
......
subnet 192.168.197.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.197.144; # 客户机设置路由ip
option domain-name-servers 192.168.197.144; # 客户机DNS地址
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.197.10 192.168.197.20; # dhcp分配池
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
next-server $next_server;
......
