$$$$$$$$$$$$ Workaround:

Cobbler Get-loaders
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Question 2:
The following is potential configuration items and that's want to fix:
1:the ' server ' field in/etc/cobbler/settings must is set to something other than localhost, or kickstarting features WI ll not work. This should is a resolvable hostname or IP for the boot server as reachable by all machines that would use it.
2:for PXE to be functional, the ' next_server ' field in/etc/cobbler/settings must is set to something other than 127.0.0 .1, and should match the IP of the boot server on the PXE network.
3:some network boot-loaders is missing from/var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you could run ' cobbler get-loaders ' to download the M, or, if you are want to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, your may ensure so you have installed a *recent* version of the Syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely. Files in this directory, should want to support all architectures, should include pxelinux.0, MENU.C32, Elilo.efi, and Yaboot. The ' Cobbler get-loaders ' command is the easiest-to resolve these requirements.
4:you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler works correctly in your SELinux environment, run the Follo Wing
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext-a-T public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*" && \
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext-a-T public_content_t "/var/www/cobbler/images/.*"
5:change ' disable ' to ' no ' in/etc/xinetd.d/rsync
Change ' disable ' to ' no ' in/etc/xinetd.d/tftp
6:comment out ' dists ' on/etc/debmirror.conf-proper Debian support
Comment out ' arches ' on/etc/debmirror.conf-proper Debian support
7:since Iptables May is running, ensure, he, and 25151 are unblocked
8:the default Pass<a href= "http://www.it165.net/edu/ebg/" target= "_blank" class= "keylink" >word</a> used By the sample templates for newly installed machines (default_pass<a href= "http://www.it165.net/edu/ebg/" target= "_ Blank "class=" Keylink ">word</a>_crypted in/etc/cobbler/settings) is still set to ' cobbler ' and should ' changed ' , try: "OpenSSL passwd-1-salt ' random-phrase-here ' your-password-here '" to generate new one
Restart Cobblerd and then run ' Cobbler Sync ' to apply changes.
9,debmirror package isn't installed, it'll be required to manage Debian deployments and repositories
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ above this message to the effect is:
1, edit the/etc/cobbler/settings file, locate the server: option, modify to the appropriate IP address, this instance configuration IP is: 192.168.10.1
2, edit the/etc/cobbler/settings file, locate the next_server: option, modify to the appropriate IP address, this instance configuration IP is: 192.168.10.1
The settings for the 4,selinux. If the above has been turned off, SELinux will be out of control, selinux settings. If it's already closed, SELinux's out of control.
3, perform cobbler get-loaders, the system will automatically download loader program, complete the repair work of prompt 4.
5. Edit the/etc/xinetd.d/tftp file to change the configuration of the Disable field in the file from Yes to No
Edit the/etc/xinetd.d/rsync file to change the configuration of the Disable field in the file from Yes to No
6. Annotate dists and arches in the/etc/debmirror.conf file
7, open the 69,80,25151 port in Iptables. If it is only used in the internal environment, it is recommended to turn off the firewall directly
9, suggesting that Debmirror is not installed. If you are not installing a system such as Debian, this hint can be ignored if you need to install it:
Http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=debmirror
CentOS 6 uses the Rhel 5 package to do so.
8, modify the default password for the cobbler user, you can use the following command to generate the password and replace the password in/etc/cobbler/settings (default_password_crypted:) with the generated password. Generate Password command:
OpenSSL passwd-1-salt ' user ' password '
where "Random-phrase-here" is the interference code

TASK Complete * * *
Cobbler automatically initializes the work, removes the existing startup items, and then copies the loader files according to the template. Then generate the PXE configuration file, generate the DHCP configuration file, and finally restart the DHCP service.
At this point, you can use the virtual machine to test the cobbler installation.
