Cobbler kickstart parameter description

In the process of using cobbler, generating a kickstart script is a key task. To better understand the parameters in the script, I have summarized them based on my actual operation experience.

1. configure a dedicated KS configuration file, such as:/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/rhel6u2-x64.cfg

Language:

Lang zh_CN.UTF-8

Set the time zone:

Timezone Asia/Shanghai

Set the installation image: (default: URL -- url = $ tree menu)

URL -- url = http: // 192.168.8.140/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel6.2-x86_64

Image Location:/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel6.2-x86_64

Disk Partition:

Part/boot -- fstype ext3 -- size = 100

Part swap -- size = 2048

Part/-- fstype ext3 -- size = 10000

Disable firewall and SELinux:

Firewall -- disabled

SELinux -- disabled

Set the root password:

Rootpw 123456

Set network parameters and host names:

Echo "Networking = yes">/etc/sysconfig/Network

Echo "networking_ipv6 = No">/etc/sysconfig/Network

Echo "hostname = yuweibo">/etc/sysconfig/Network

Echo "Gateway = 192.168.1.1">/etc/sysconfig/Network

Set DNS:

Echo "nameserver 61.139.2.69">/etc/resolv. conf

Echo "nameserver 192.168.8.2">/etc/resolv. conf

To enable the startup service, only crond, sshd, syslog, and network services are enabled:

For service in 'chkconfig -- list | awk '{print $1}' | egrep-V "^ $" | awk-F ":" '{print $1 }''; do chkconfig $ service off; done

For service in crond sshd syslog network; do chkconfig $ service on; done

Set the bulletin board information:

Echo "this is Linux">/etc/motd

2. Specify the KS file corresponding to the profile (or directly configure it on the Web interface ):

Cobbler profile edit -- name = rhel6.2-x86_64 -- kickstart =/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/rhel6u2-x64.cfg

3. Configure the system and bind the MAC address for installation: (or directly configure it on the Web)

Cobbler system add -- name = centos6.3-i386 -- MAC = 00: 0C: 29: A0: 26: 7f -- IP-address = 192.168.1.30 -- subnet = 255.255.255.0 -- gateway = 192.168.1.1 -- interface = eth0 -- Static = 1 -- DNS-name = 202.106.0.20 -- profile = rhel6.2-x86_64
