Cobbler 和 koan 的安装源：
ubuntu(12.04)的源：
注: Ubuntu的可用源可从这里查询：http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/Template:12.04source
cat /etc/apt/source.list

apt-get install koan
RHEL(6.4)需要以下两个源:
Centos源: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/
Epel源: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
下面主要以RHEL6.4上部署Cobbler为例:
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/Django14-1.4.21-1.el6.noarch.rpm //cobbler-web需要Django支持. yum install cobbler cobbler-web tftp-server dhcp xinetd rsync httpd yum install koan //此在需要借助Cobbler自动重装系统的Client上安装.可通过它来修改Client 的grub.conf，从而让Client从网络启动,来重装系统.
部署前：
1. cobbler check //让Cobbler自行判断,正常启动你还需要做哪些工作.
2. 根据提示修改:
（1）修linux的Selinux为禁用。
vim /etc/selinux/config 【SELINUX=disabled //修改后需reboot（重启）】
（2）修改tftp、rsync服务为启动
vim /etc/xinet.d/tftp 和 /etc/xinet.d/rsync 【disable = no】 chkconfig xinetd on
（3）安装缺少的包
yum install syslinux-nonlinux debmirror ---》对debian linux的镜像源的支持,若需要做本地apt源时,需要安装。 pykickstart
（4）修改cobbler的主配置文件【注: cobbler的主配置文件修改后,必须重启才能生效.】
cp -a /etc/cobbler/settings{,.bak}
vim /etc/cobbler/settings
【
allow_dynamic_settings: 1 //开启不重启cobbler,也可动态载入修改的主配置信息.
注: 此项,仅在使用cobbler setting edit --name=配置项名 --value=值时才有效,
但此命令会清除配置文件中所有注释内容.
manage_dhcp: 1 //若需要cobbler管理DHCP,则需要将其设置为1
注: 若要使用dhcpd 来提供DHCP服务,则修改dhcp.template
若要使用dnsmasq来提供DHCP服务,则修改 dnsmasq.template但无论使用谁，都需要将其设置为1.。
另注:modules.conf中默认设置Cobbler使用 dhcpd来提供DHCP服务.
server: 192.168.137.203 //指定cobbler监听的地址
next_server: 192.168.137.203 //指定tftp server的地址
pxe_just_once: 1 //避免循环从网络启动;当PXE客户端安装完成后,会通知cobbler,
cobbler将设置netboot标志为false,强制PXE客户端从本地磁盘引导。
】
（5）复制PXE启动所需的引导文件
cd /usr/share/syslinux //此为syslinux-nonlinux的安装文件存储位置。 cp pxelinux.0 menu.c32 vesamenu.c32 memdisk /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/ 注: menu.c32 :此为文本模式背景 vesamenu.c32 : 此为图形模式背景 memdisk ：引导IMG、IMA、ISO映像,所必须加载的文件,它也可用来加载WinPE.ISO来提供网络PE.
或直接执行：
cobbler get-loaders //若联网则直接执行它即可,自动下载 [root@cobbler etc]# ls /var/lib/cobbler/loaders/ COPYING.elilo COPYING.yaboot grub-x86_64.efi memdisk pxelinux.0 vesamenu.c32 COPYING.syslinux elilo-ia64.efi grub-x86.efi menu.c32 README yaboot
（6）修改Cobbler的默认两个的密码
1> 修改所安装系统的默认root密码:
ROOTPWD=$(openssl -1 -salt `openssl rand -hex 4` 'Root_Password') vim /etc/cobbler/settings 【default_password_crypted: $ROOTPWD】
2>修改Cobbler_Web登录的用户名和密码:
vim /etc/cobbler/users.digest 【格式: 用户名:Cobbler:密码 //Cobbler的含义不明, 用户名和密码默认为cobbler,可修改. admin:Cobbler:密码部分必须用htdigest修改 】 修改admin的密码: htdigest /etc/cobbler/users.digest "Cobbler" admin
注：
要登录Web管理.需要注意httpd服务必须启动.
且cobbler出现"error: [Errno 111] Connection refused",httpd没有启动的原因也比较大.
Cobbler的http源: http://IP/cobbler
登录CobblerWeb界面: http:// IP /cobbler_web
另注:
默认 Cobbler的Web登录认证方式在modules.conf中定义为: authn_configfile, 即采用user.digest中定义的
用户名和密码来认证，即cobbler自身提供的认证方式. 若需修改为使用系统用户认证,即PAM方式。
则需修改：
1. sed -i '/\[authentication\]/{N;s,\(module\).*,\1=authn_pam,}' /etc/cobbler/modules.conf
2. echo 'Test_User_PWD' | passwd --stdin user1
3. sed -i '/^\(admin\).*/s,,\1="user1",' /etc/cobbler/users.conf //注意:PAM使用的用户配置文件为:users.conf
（7）启动服务：
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart /etc/init.d/httpd restart /etc/init.d/cobbler restart cobbler sync cobbler check
注：
执行cobbler sync后,需要注意以下信息:
….. 省略
rendering DHCP files
rendering TFTPD files
generating /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
processing boot_files for distro: Redhat-6.4-x86_64
cleaning link caches
rendering Rsync files
running post-sync triggers
running python triggers from /var/lib/cobbler/triggers/sync/post/*
running python trigger cobbler.modules.sync_post_restart_services
running: service dnsmasq restart
received on stdout:
Starting dnsmasq: [ OK ] ——–》若使用的dhcpd,则这里将启动dhcpd.
（8）导入Redhat ISO镜像：
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom cobbler import --name=RedHat-6.4-x86_64 --path=/mnt/cdrom
查看导入结果：
cobbler report <==> cobbler distro report && cobbler profile report cobbler profile edit --name=Redhat-6.4-x86_64 \ --distro=Redhat-6.4-x86_64 \ --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/RedHat-6.4-x86_64.ks //修改使用指定的ks文件。
注：手工导入ISO镜像的方法：
1. 先挂载光盘,如mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. 挂载并同步
cd /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror mkdir Ubuntu12.04-x86_64 rsync -a /mnt/cdrom/* Ubuntu12.04-x86_64/
3. 创建连接
ln -s /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Ubuntu12.04-x86_64 /var/www/cobbler/links/
4. 将其添加到Cobbler中.
cobbler distro add \ --name=Ubuntu12.04-x86_64 \ --kernel=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Ubuntu12.04-x86_64/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux \ --initrd=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Ubuntu12.04-x86_64/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
5. 指定其使用的preseed自动应答文件:【注: Ubuntu也可使用RHEL类似的ks文件.】
cobbler profile add --name=Ubuntu12.04-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/Ubuntu12.04-x86_64.seed //附件1有详情.
6. 执行同步:
cobbler sync cobbler check cobbler report
（9）非必须的配置
1. 给RHEL的ks文件中加入默认需要安装的RPM包列表
》先在/var/lib/cobbler/snippets目录中创建一个文件,名字任意.
vim /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/package_select 【@组包名 单个RPM包名 】
》修改 RHEL的ks文件:
vim /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/Redhat6.4_x86_64.ks
【
%packages
$SNIPPET('package_select')
%end
】
2. Server: 此配置是为专门定制一个服务器配置,给特定的服务器安装系统使用。
》先在Cobbler 服务端添加以下信息:
cobbler system add --name=Test_Server1 --profile=Redhat6.4_x86_64 \ --hostname=tsrv1.test.com \ --interface=eth0 \ --static=1 \ --netboot-enabled=true \ --ip-address=1.1.1.1 \ --subnet=255.255.255.0 \ --gateway=1.1.1.2 \ --name-server='8.8.8.8' cobbler sync
》到需要安装OS的服务器上执行:
1. 保证安装了koan(kickstart-over-a-network) .
RHEL: 需要Centos官方源 和 Epel源（前文中提到的两个）
Ubuntu：可使用 163 和 sohu的源.
2. 执行以下命令进行服务器系统的重新安装:
》执行下面语句,将修改grub.conf从网络启动
koan –server=Cobbler_SRV_IP –port=80 –replace-self –system=Test_Server1
另注: 查看命令
koan --server=Cobbler_SRV_IP --port=80 --list=profile //查看有哪些配置可用. koan --server=Cobbler_SRV_IP --port=80 --list=server //查看有哪些server配置可用. koan --server=Cobbler_SRV_IP --port=80 --dispaly --profile=Redhat6.4_x86_64 //查看详细配置.

看出来的认真，但文章少了层次感，
