2. 配置DHCP和TFTP服务。

3. 导入多版本操作系统的安装镜像。

4. 创建和配置Cobbler profiles和systems。

5. 通过PXE启动批量部署操作系统。

6. 验证部署结果，确保客户端计算机成功安装指定的操作系统。

五、实验步骤

前提条件：

1、能够访问互联网

[root@localhost ~]# ping -c1 www.baidu.com

2、firewalld selinux 关闭

[root@localhost ~]# sed -i '/^SELINUX=/ c SELINUX=disabled' /etc/selinux/config  [root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0如果不关闭selinux也可以  #getsebool -a|grep cobbler  #setsebool -P cobbler_can_network_connect 1 
​[root@cobbler-server ~]# systemctl disable --now firewalld
​[root@localhost ~]# systemctl is-enabled firewalld.servicedisabled
​或者firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=67/udpfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=68/udpfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcpfirewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcpfirewall-cmd --reloadfirewall-cmd --permanent --list-ports 

3、配置epel源

[root@localhost ~]# yum install epel-release -y

安装cobbler

1、安装dhcp httpd xinetd

[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y httpd dhcp xinetd tftp-server

2、安装cobbler

[root@localhost ~]# yum install -y cobbler cobbler-web

3、将cobbler httpd dhcp xinetd添加到开机自启

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable httpd dhcpd xinetd cobblerd

配置环境

cp /etc/cobbler/settings{,.bak}

环境检测：

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start httpd cobblerd[root@localhost ~]# cobbler checkThe 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/Selinux4 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp5 : 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 systemctl7 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories8 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart9 : 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 one10 : 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.逐个解决以上问题
​
1、配置文件设置server（cobbler服务器地址）[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's#server: 127.0.0.1#server: 172.16.110.91#g' /etc/cobbler/settings
​
2、设置'next_server'（DHCP服务器地址）[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's#next_server: 127.0.0.1#next_server: 172.16.110.91#g' /etc/cobbler/settings3、关闭selinux[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's#SELINUX=enforcing#SELINUX=disabled#g' /etc/selinux/config#系统重启后生效
​
4、开启tftp修改/etc/xinetd.d/tftp，disable ‘yes’ 改为 ‘no’5、准备引导操作系统文件#如果没有互联网，引导文件通过安装syslinux包获取。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@localhost ~]# cp /usr/share/syslinux/{pxelinux.0,memu.c32} /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/或者用提供的压缩包解压到指定文件夹[root@localhost ~]# tar xf loaders.tar.gz -C /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/
​
6、启动并开机自启动rsyncd.service[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start rsyncd.service[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable rsyncd.service 7、如果不安装debian系统可以不配置
​
8、安装pykickstart[root@localhost ~]# yum install pykickstart -y
​
9、生成cobbler安装系统root初始化密码#这里生成密钥和配置默认密钥，ks文件引用(前面是干扰字符,后面的是密码)[root@localhost ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'redhat'$1$random-p$MvGDzDfse5HkTwXB2OLNb.#更复杂安全密码[root@localhost ~]# openssl passwd -1 -salt $(openssl rand -hex 8) 'redaht'$1$4990cb90$jnQShir2NWVl23tbwpnFO0#加入到cobbler配置[root@localhost ~]# sed -i '/default_password_crypted:/cdefault_password_crypted: "$1$random-p$MvGDzDfse5HkTwXB2OLNb."' /etc/cobbler/settings 
​
10、安装cman or fence-agents[root@localhost ~]# yum install cman fence-agents -y
​
配置DHCP：#启用cobbler管理DHCP功能[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's#manage_dhcp: 0#manage_dhcp: 1#g' /etc/cobbler/settings#manage_dhcp: 0 #设置为1时，开启cobbler的dhcp管理器修改DHCP配置文件[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template ...subnet 172.16.110.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {option routers             172.16.110.254;option domain-name-servers 114.114.114.114;option subnet-mask         255.255.255.0;range dynamic-bootp        172.16.110.50 172.16.110.80;;default-lease-time         21600;max-lease-time             43200;...
​
配置pxe[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/pxe_just_once: 0/pxe_just_once: 1/' /etc/cobbler/settings

重启机器，再次测试：

[root@localhost ~]# cobbler check

cobbler批量部署CentOS 7和8

1、创建用于上传iso文件目录
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /software/iso -p
然后上传centos6 和 centos7 的dvd iso镜像，过程略。
上传好后如下：
[root@localhost iso]# ll
total 13648896
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4712300544 May 28 16:45 CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7554990080 May 28 16:46 CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso
​
2、创建镜像导入存放目录
# mkdir -p /data/os/Linux/CentOS/X86_64/CentOS{7..8}/dvd
​
3、挂载 ISO 镜像并导入dvd 数据
[root@localhost iso]# mount /software/iso/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso /data/os/Linux/CentOS/X86_64/CentOS7/dvd/
[root@localhost iso]# mount /software/iso/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso /data/os/Linux/CentOS/X86_64/CentOS8/dvd/
​
导入时间较久，耐心等待
cobbler import --path=/data/os/Linux/CentOS/X86_64/CentOS7/dvd/ --name=CentOS7.9 --arch=x86_64
cobbler import --path=/data/os/Linux/CentOS/X86_64/CentOS8/dvd/ --name=CentOS8.1 --arch=x86_64
​
4、列出导入后的配置
[root@localhost iso]# cobbler list
distros:CentOS7.9-x86_64CentOS8.1-x86_64
​

六、心得体会

通过本次实验，我掌握了Cobbler服务器的安装和配置方法，并成功实现了多版本操作系统的批量部署。理解了PXE网络启动的原理和实践操作。Cobbler大大简化了操作系统的部署过程，提高了效率。在实际工作中，Cobbler可以用于快速部署和管理大规模服务器环境，为系统管理员提供了极大的便利。
