简述：通过配置cobbler自动部署DHCP、TFTP、HTTP，在安装过程中加载kiskstart无人值守安装应答文件实现无人值守。从客户端使用PXE引导启动安装。

1. 安装相关软件：

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm  
rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm 
yum -y install cobbler tftp-server dhcp httpd xinetd 

注意 /var/www/cobbler 目录必须具有足够容纳 Linux 安装文件的空间(移动，建软链接)
#ln -s /cobbler /var/www

2. 检查 cobbler 配置：

cobbler check 

按提示解决相关问题，把 /var/lib/cobbler/settings 中的 server 和 next_server 设为本服务器的 IP 地址，manage_dhcp 设为 1，以便管理 DHCP
 将 /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 中 disable = no

3. 导入CentOS 安装 DVD ISO 中的文件：

mount -o loop /home/dtm/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso /mnt/iso       # 将ISO文件挂载到 /mnt/iso 目录
cobbler import --mirror=/mnt/iso --name=centos5.5                              # 从 /mnt/iso目录导入所有安装文件，命名为 centos5.5
cobbler distro list                                                                                      # 查看导入结果

[root@elain www]# cobbler distro list
  centos5.5-x86_64
  centos5.5-xen-x86_64

-------------------------------
cobbler目录及文件

cobbler相关配置文件: /etc/cobbler
cobbler数据存储目录: /var/www/cobbler
dhcp配置文件: /etc/dhcpd.conf
dhcp租期缓存文件: /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases
pxe配置文件: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
ks模板文件: /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts
--------------------------------
4. 修改 DHCP 和 Kickstart 配置模板：

vi /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template                                                                 # DHCP 配置模板，根据提示修改下面模板
vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

5. 生成并同步所有配置：

cobbler sync

注：每次更改Kickstart 配置文件，都需要使用cobbler sync重新同步所有配置

6. 启动相关服务：

/etc/init.d/httpd start
/etc/init.d/xinetd start 
/etc/init.d/dhcpd start
/etc/init.d/cobblerd start

7.客户端启动PXE 安装

启动另一台新服务器，通过 PXE 启动进入，提示"boot:"时输入"menu"即可进入蓝色的 Cobbler 安装界面，选择安装项，自动完成系统安装。 

http方式安装：服务器:192.168.9.101 目录:/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos/

8.重装系统： 

在要重装的机器安装koan  
yum install koan  
查看cobbler服务器有哪些安装盘  
koan --list-profiles --server=192.168.9.101 
选择要重装的系统并重启  
koan --replace-self --server=192.168.9.101 --profile=centos5.5
reboot  


附上服务控制脚本：
[root@elain ~]# cat cobbler.sh
#!/bin/sh
# created by dingtm
# date: 2010.12.31

case $1 in
        start)
               /etc/init.d/httpd start
               /etc/init.d/xinetd start 
               /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
               /etc/init.d/cobblerd start
                ;;
        stop)
               /etc/init.d/httpd stop
               /etc/init.d/xinetd stop 
               /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop
               /etc/init.d/cobblerd stop
                ;;
        status)
                /etc/init.d/httpd status
                /etc/init.d/xinetd status 
                /etc/init.d/dhcpd status
                /etc/init.d/cobblerd status
                ;;     
         sync)
                cobbler sync
                ;;                          
        *)
                echo "Input error,please in put 'start|stop|status|sync'!"; 
                exit 2>&1 >/dev/null &
                ;;
