CentOS7.3下利用cobbler2.8.0部署exsi5.5

前言：昨天提到了如何在CentOS7下利用cobbler来部署CentOS，没接触过的朋友可以参考我上一篇的文章：http://molewan.blog.51cto.com/287340/1908475，今天又测试了下利用cobbler2.8.0部署esxi5.5，参考了网上的一些资料，但与我实际操作中碰到的有些差异，所以特意记录下来。

1、查看cobbler的版本

[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler --version
Cobbler 2.8.0
source: ?, ?
build time: Tue Jan 31 23:25:14 2017
[root@cobbler ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

2、挂载并导入ESXI5.5的数据

[root@cobbler ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
mount: /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler import --path=/mnt --name=EXSI5.5 --arch=x86_64
task started: 2017-03-21_143016_import
task started (id=Media import, time=Tue Mar 21 14:30:16 2017)
# 以下为提示信息，最开始看到的时候吓我一跳

[root@cobbler ~]# echo $?

说明：以上的输出结果可知，导入没有问题

3、编辑kickstart文件

[root@cobbler ~]# cd /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# vim ESXI55.cfg
# set for install esxi55
vmaccepteula
# 注意如果密码长度小于7位，安装的时候会有报错的（可惜忘记截图了）
rootpw redhat123456
clearpart --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
install --firstdisk --overwritevmfs
# 注意网卡名称为vmnic0
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=vmnic0
reboot --noeject
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# ll
total 64

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5879 Nov 17 03:09 sample.seed
说明：可以参考sample_esxi5.ks文件进行编辑
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler list
distros:
CentOS-6.7-x86_64
CentOS-7.3-x86_64
EXSI5.5-x86_64
profiles:

CentOS-7.3-x86_64
EXSI5.5-x86_64
systems:
cobbler2
repos:

mgmtclasses:
packages:
files:

4、查看cobbler profile

[root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler profile report

说明：由上的输出结果，我们可以发现， EXSI5.5-x86_64默认的kickstart文件是/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sample_esxi5.ks，显然这不是我们想要的
[root@cobbler kickstarts]# cobbler profile edit --name=EXSI5.5-x86_64 --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ESXI55.cfg
# 修改EXSI5.5-x86_64默认的kickstart文件为/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ESXI55.cfg，并再次查看

说明：以上的网卡是esxi55客户机的真实网卡，为它安装的时候指定一个固定的ip、子网掩码、网关、主机名、DNS等
[root@cobbler ~]# cobbler system list
esxi55-01

然后开启服务器，坐等ESXI5.5安装完毕













在esxi5.5上配置好ssh后，命令行模式下测试下网络情况

~ # ping 10.10.10.2

到此，一个完整的ESXI5.5就部署完成了。
