Cobbler 可以用來快速建立 Linux 網絡安裝環境，它已將 Linux 網絡安裝的技術門檻，從大專以上文化水平，成功降低到初中以下，連補鞋匠都能學會。（~..~）
系統：centos 6.5 IP：192.168.30.158/24
自動安裝鏡像：CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso
安裝epel源：
[root@cobbler ~]# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
安裝DHCP、tftp，rsync，xinetd，httpd（這些都是所需要的，如果有則不需要安裝。）
[root@cobbler ~]#yum-yinstalldhcp tftp rsync xinetd httpd
安裝cobbler
[root@cobbler ~]# wgethttp://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
[root@cobbler ~]# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
[root@cobbler ~]# yum install cobbler
安裝cobbler完成後，重啟cobblerd。還暫時不能使用，我們可以運行一下這個命令，檢查一下。可以看到的錯誤信息
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler checkThe following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1: The'server'fieldin/etc/cobbler/settings must be set to something other than localhost, or kickstarting features will not work. This should be a resolvablehostnameor IPforthe boot server as reachable by all machines that will use it.
2: For PXE to be functional, the'next_server'fieldin/etc/cobbler/settings must be set to something other than127.0.0.1, 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,ifyou 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. Filesinthis 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: change'disable'to'no'in/etc/xinetd.d/rsync
6: comment out'dists'on /etc/debmirror.confforproper debian support7: comment out'arches'on /etc/debmirror.confforproper debian support8: The default password used by the sample templatesfornewly installed machines (default_password_cryptedin/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 oneRestart cobblerd andthenrun'cobbler sync'to apply changes.
現在就一個一個的來解決以上的錯誤條目。
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.
上面提示需要修改cobbler服務器的ip地址。配置文件是/etc/cobbler/settings.找到
[root@cobbler ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settingsserver:192.168.30.158next_server:192.168.30.158
2 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 修改disable 為 no
[root@cobbler ~]#vi/etc/xinetd.d/tftp
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivialfiletransfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation processforsome operating systems.
service tftp{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait= yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
disable =no
per_source =11
cps =1002
flags = IPv4
}
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 : 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
[root@cobbler ~]# opensslpasswd-1-salt'222222''999999'
$1$222222$D38AxheCTHf/nVAzlN0.z0
此處按提示操作，最後一個生成的“999999”密碼，是cobbler客戶端安裝完系統後的root密碼。生成後的密碼$1$222222$D38AxheCTHf/nVAzlN0.z0需要寫入下面的文件內：/etc/cobbler/settings內
[root@cobbler ~]# vim /etc/cobbler/settings
default_password_crypted:"$1$222222$D38AxheCTHf/nVAzlN0.z0"
5 : comment out 'dists' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support；comment out 'arches' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support
[root@cobbler ~]# vim /etc/debmirror.conf#@dists="sid";#@arches="i386";
找到以上兩行，並注釋掉這兩句。
6: change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/rsync 修改disable 為 no
[root@cobbler ~]#vi/etc/xinetd.d/rsync
# default: off
# description: The rsync server is a good addition to anftpserver, as it \
# allows crc checksumming etc.
service rsync
{
disable=no
flags = IPv6
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/rsync
server_args = --daemon
log_on_failure += USERID
}
7：將上述錯誤修改完畢後，重啟下cobblerd服務，再次運行cobbler check檢查，出現以下便表示前面幾條的提示已經被解決了。
[root@cobbler ~]# service cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
Starting cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler checkNo configuration problems found. All systems go.
8：修改cobbler配置文件，讓cobbler來接管DHCP的目的
[root@cobbler ~]#vi/etc/cobbler/settingsmanage_dhcp:1
9：修改DHCP配置模板，修改成如下配置（根據自己的網絡環境配置）
[root@cobbler ~]#vi/etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
subnet192.168.30.0netmask255.255.255.0{
option routers192.168.30.1;

10：安裝光盤已經放在光驅裡了，現在需要創建文件，然後掛載到電腦上。
[root@cobbler ~]#mkdir-p /cobbler/ISO
[root@cobbler /]#mount/dev/cdrom /cobbler/ISO/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 iswrite-protected, mounting read-only
之後導入安裝鏡像。

12：現在配置基本上已經完成了，可以達到自動裝機的效果了。（可能生產環境中需要修改一些環境變量，或者預安裝的軟件包）
開機，選擇網卡啟動
之後在出現的系統菜單中，選擇所需要安裝的系統
選擇Centos6.5後即可自動進行安裝。
