1.背景介绍
作为运维，在公司经常遇到一些机械性重复工作要做，例如：为新机器装系统，一台两台机器装系统，可以用光盘、U盘等介质安装，1小时也完成了，但是如果有成百台的服务器还要用光盘、U盘去安装，就显得有些力不从心了。PXE技术就能很好的解决这个问题，本文将会对PXE的工作原理有所介绍，而cobbler则是基于PXE技术的工作原理的二次封装，通过命令的方式简化了PXE配置过程。
2.PXE原理介绍
2.1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。
2.2PXE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
3.Cobbler
鉴于pxe自动装系统网上一搜一大把，我就不详细操作举例了，今天主要讲一讲Cobbler。
3.1Cobbler介绍
Cobbler是一个Linux服务器快速网络安装的服务，由python开发，小巧轻便（15k行python代码），可以通过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，TFTP、RSYNC以及yum仓库、构造系统ISO镜像。
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。
3.2Cobbler工作流程
- 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
3.3Cobbler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)

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start httpd
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl enable httpd
[root@localhost ~]# systemct1 enable cobblerd
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start cobblerd4.3.3通过cobbler check 核对当前设置是否有问题
1 [root@localhost ~]# cobbler check
2 The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
3
4 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.
5 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.
6 3 : change 'disable' to 'no' in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
7 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.
8 5 : enable and start rsyncd.service with systemctl
9 6 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
10 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
11 8 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to use them
12

48 *** TASK COMPLETE ***5.新建一个虚拟机测试
为避免发生未知问题，先把服务端所有服务重启
[root@localhost cobbler]#systemctl restart xinetd.service
[root@localhost cobbler]#systemctl restart cobblerd.service
[root@localhost cobbler]#systemctl restart httpd.service新建虚拟机从pxe启动，如果出现下面图形，则说明已经成功了
上图中网址也可以定制为我们自己的
[root@localhost cobbler]# vim /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxedefault.template
MENU TITLE Cobbler | I'm here # 修改这里为你想修改的内容
[root@localhost cobbler]# cobbler sync # 同步之后就可以看到效果了6.通过MAC地址定制化安装
我们可以根据不同的MAC地址来给安装 不同的操作系统，配置不同的静态iP,设置不同的主机名等等，虚拟机查看MAC地址步骤如图：
配置定制化安装（需要验证，后续验证后添加验证结果）
[root@localhost cobbler]# cobbler system add \
--name=linux-web01 \
--mac=00:0C:29:3B:03:9B \
--profile=Centos-7.2-x86_64 \
--ip-address=10.0.0.200 \
--subnet=255.255.255.0 \
--gateway=10.0.0.2 \
--interface=eth0 \
--static=1 \
--hostname=linux-web01 \
--name-servers="10.0.0.2" \
--kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/Centos7.2-x86_64.cfgsystem add # 添加定制系统
name # 定制系统名称
mac # mac地址
profile #指定profile
ip-address # 指定IP地址
subnet # 指定子网掩码
gateway # 指定网关
interface # 指定网卡，eth0上面配置已经修改，centos7默认网卡名称不是eth0
static # 1表示启用静态IP
hostname # 定义hostname
name-server # dns服务器
kickstart # 指定ks文件
配置成功后我们可以查看到刚才定制的系统
[root@localhost cobbler]# cobbler system list
linux-web01接下来我们创建一个虚拟机，mac地址为00:0C:29:3B:03:9B，启动后你就会发现自动进入安装系统了，等安装完以后，所有的配置都和我们当初设置的一样。
7.使用koan实现重新安装系统
在客户端安装koan（要配置好源）
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-10.noarch.rpm
[root@localhost ~]# yum install koan查看cobbler上的配置文件
1 [root@localhost ~]# koan --server=10.0.0.101 --list=profiles
2 - looking for Cobbler at http://10.0.0.101:80/cobbler_api
3 Centos-7.2-x86_64重新安装客户端系统
[root@localhost ~]# koan --replace-self --server=10.0.0.101 --profile=webserver1重启系统后会自动重装系统
cobbler-web相关配置，后续文章再更。。。
