1、Cobbler介绍
2、Cobbler功能
一、 PXE原理介绍
1.1 原理与概念
事实上把PXE称作是一种引导方式而不是安装方式似乎更加准确,PXE(Pre-boot Execution Environment)是由Intel设计的协议,它可以使计算机通过网络启动,但是有一个前提条件是计算机的网卡必须具有引导功能,这个网卡中要有一个PXE客户端。当计算机POST自检成功以后,BIOS把网卡中ROM的PXE客户端调入内存执行,PXE客户端通过网络中的DHCP服务器获取一个IP地址,拿到IP地址以后PXE继续引导计算机与网络中的TFTP客户端建立连接,从而从TFTP服务器中获取开机引导文件之后请求并下载安装需要的文件。在这个过程中需要一台服务器来提供启动文件、安装文件、以及安装过程中的自动应答文件等。
1.2 PXE工作步骤如下图:
原理介绍
- Client向PXE Server上的DHCP发送IP地址请求消息,DHCP检测Client是否合法(主要是检测Client的网卡MAC地址),如果合法则返回Client的IP地址,同时将启动文件pxelinux.0的位置信息一并传送给Client
- Client向PXE Server上的TFTP发送获取pxelinux.0请求消息,TFTP接收到消息之后再向Client发送pxelinux.0大小信息,试探Client是否满意,当TFTP收到Client发回的同意大小信息之后,正式向Client发送pxelinux.0
- Client执行接收到的pxelinux.0文件
- Client向TFTP Server发送针对本机的配置信息文件(在TFTP服务的pxelinux.cfg目录下,这是系统菜单文件,格式和isolinux.cfg格式一样,功能也是类似),TFTP将配置文件发回Client,继而Client根据配置文件执行后续操作。
- Client向TFTP发送Linux内核请求信息,TFTP接收到消息之后将内核文件发送给Client
- Client向TFTP发送根文件请求信息,TFTP接收到消息之后返回Linux根文件系统
- Client启动Linux内核
- Client下载安装源文件,读取自动化安装脚本
二、 Cobbler简介
2.1 cobbler简介及工作原理
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。
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。
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。
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,暂时不支持SaltStack。
Cobbler官网:http://cobbler.github.io
2.2 Cobbler工作流程
工作原理:
- client裸机配置了从网络启动后,开机后会广播包请求DHCP服务器 (cobbler server)发送其分配好的一个IP
- DHCP服务器(cobbler server)收到请求后发送responese,包括其ip地址
- client裸机拿到ip后再向cobbler server发送请求OS引导文件的请求
- cobbler server告诉裸机OS引导文件的名字和TFTP server的ip和 port
- client裸机通过上面告知的TFTP server地址通信,下载引导文件
- client裸机执行执行该引导文件,确定加载信息,选择要安装的os, 期间会再向cobbler server请求kickstart文件和os image
- cobbler server发送请求的kickstart和os iamge
- client裸机加载kickstart文件
- client裸机接收os image,安装该os image
2.3 Cobbler集成的服务
- PXE服务支持
- DHCP服务管理
- DNS服务管理(可选bind,dnsmasq)
- 电源管理
- Kickstart服务支持
- YUM仓库管理
- TFTP(PXE启动时需要)
- Apache(提供kickstart的安装源,并提供定制化的kickstart配置)

启动cobbler httpd服务
[root@Cobbler ~]# systemctl start cobblerd httpd
[root@Cobbler ~]# systemctl enable cobblerd httpd
检查配置文件,需要在cobbler和httpd启动的情况下检查
[root@Cobbler ~]# cobbler check ###检查存在的问题,逐一解决
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 : 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
8 : 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.
解决方法:
1、修改/etc/cobbler/settings文件中的server参数的值为提供cobbler服务的主机相应的IP地址或主机名,如server: 10.0.0.101;
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/server: 127.0.0.1/server: 192.168.1.51/' /etc/cobbler/settings
2、修改/etc/cobbler/settings文件中的next_server参数的值为提供PXE服务的主机相应的IP地址,如next_server: 192.168.1.21;
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/next_server: 127.0.0.1/next_server: 192.168.1.51/' /etc/cobbler/settings
3、修改/etc/xinetd.d/tftp文件中的disable参数修改为 disable = no
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/yes/no/' /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
4、执行 cobbler get-loaders 命令;否则,需要安装syslinux程序包,而后复制/usr/share/syslinux/{pxelinux.0,memu.c32}等文件至/var/lib/cobbler/loaders/目录中;
[root@Cobbler ~]# cobbler get-loaders
5、启动rsync服务并加入开机自启动即可;
[root@Cobbler ~]# systemctl restart rsyncd
[root@Cobbler ~]# systemctl enable rsyncd
6、如果有强迫症可以选择 yum –y install debmirror 然后根据错误进行解决,一般错误如下。
注释/etc/dedmirror.conf文件中的 @dists=”sid”; @arches=”i386”;
[root@Cobbler ~]# yum -y install debmirror
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/@dists="sid";/#@dists="sid"/' /etc/debmirror.conf
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/@arches="i386";/#@arches="i386";/' /etc/debmirror.conf
7、修改默认管理员密码
[root@cobbler ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt '$(openssl rand -hex 4)' 'centos'
$1$$(openss$uMj.Tm5M/H2WZHi29hlAl.
[root@cobbler ~]#
[root@cobbler-node1~]# grep "default_password_crypted" /etc/cobbler/settings #替换/etc/cobbler/setting内的default_password_crypted
default_password_crypted: "$1$$(openss$uMj.Tm5M/H2WZHi29hlAl."
8、安装cman fence-agents软件包即可
[root@Cobbler ~]# yum -y install cman fence-agents
[root@Cobbler ~]# systemctl restart cobblerd
[root@Cobbler ~]# cobbler check
No configuration problems found. All systems go.
[root@Cobbler ~]# sed -i 's/manage_dhcp: 0/manage_dhcp: 1 /g' /etc/cobbler/settings #使用cobbler管理dhcp
[root@Cobbler ~]# cat /etc/cobbler/settings |grep manage_dhcp
[root@Cobbler ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template #修改cobbler的dhcp模版,因为cobbler会替换。
