Cobbler部署之FAQ处理

Cobbler报错处理

通过cobbler check检查出现的报错

红色标注为报错关键信息

9.1 报错一

# cobbler check
httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler, or SELinux is in the way. Original traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cli.py", line 184, in check_setup

raise socket.error, msg
error: (111, 'Connection refused')

解决启动httpd服务

service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 10 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/cobbler.conf:
Invalid command 'WSGIScriptAliasMatch', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
[FAILED]#启动httpd时的报错，解决方法如下

解决

vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
去掉注释
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
再启动httpd服务
service httpd start
Starting httpd: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using x.x.x.x for ServerName
[ OK ]

再进行一些针对apache ServerName参数配置的处理

egrep "ServerName|Listen" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf |grep -v '#'
Listen 172.17.10.14:80
ServerName 80

9.2 报错二

此步共修复七个需要处理的提示，一个一个解决

# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : service dhcpd is not running
解决：DHCP先不处理
2 : 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.
解决：执行 cobbler get-loaders，系统将自动下载loader程序，完成提示2的修复工作。

*** TASK COMPLETE ***
3 : debmirror package is not installed, it will be required to manage debian deployments and repositories
解决：提示说debmirror没安装。如果不是安装 debian之类的系统，此提示可以忽略，如果需要安装，
安装 debmirror
yum -y install debmirror
编辑注释
修改 /etc/debmirror.conf 配置文件，注释掉 @dists 和 @arches 两行
sed -i 's|@dists=.*|#@dists=|' /etc/debmirror.conf
sed -i 's|@arches=.*|#@arches=|' /etc/debmirror.conf
4 : ksvalidator was not found, install pykickstart
解决：安装ksvalidator
yum install pykickstart -y
5 : 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
解决：修改cobbler用户的默认密码，可以使用如下命令生成密码，并使用生成后的密码替换/etc/cobbler/settings中 default_password_crypted 的密码。
生成密码命令：
#openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' '[任意密码]'
openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'hexun'
$1$random-p$Q1IN9LaNg7yhRKJuY50fV1
6 : fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional) power management features. install cman or fence-agents to use them
解决:安装cman工具用于电源管理
yum -y install cman
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
修复完毕重启cobbler服务，然后运行cobbler sync
7：修复完成以上问题后，同步信息再检查
/etc/init.d/cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
Starting cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
再次检查，又报错
cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : 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
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
报错原因是上面的第五个问题没完全解决，仅仅生成了密钥，没有放入cobbler主配置文件
vim /etc/cobbler/settings
default_password_crypted: "$1$random-p$Q1IN9LaNg7yhRKJuY50fV1"
再重启服务
/etc/init.d/cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
Starting cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
cobbler check
No configuration problems found. All systems go.
执行cobbler sync
cobbler sync

*** TASK COMPLETE ***
执行cobbler sync会重启相关服务，DHCP服务也会启动了，第一个提示也就解决了，下面也有说明

9.3 报错三

[root@cobbler-1014 x86_64]# /etc/init.d/cobblerd restart
Stopping cobbler daemon: [FAILED]
Starting cobbler daemon: [ OK ]
[root@cobbler-1014 x86_64]# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : service dhcpd is not running
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

执行cobbler sync即可启动dhcp服务

cobbler sync

9.4 报错四

使用koan重装系统时报错

koan --server=172.17.10.14 --list=profiles
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/koan", line 18, in ?
import koan.app as app
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 64, in ?
import configurator
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/configurator.py", line 36, in ?
import simplejson as json
ImportError: No module named simplejson

解决：需要安装simplejson软件包，
最新版下载地址：http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson/
最新版的simplejson要求python 2.6+以上的,CntOS5.8是Python 2.4.3，所以下载的simplejson-2.0.9.tar.gz版本
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/simplejson/simplejson-2.0.9.tar.gz
安装步骤:
访问外网下载文件setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg
如没有外网可以通过其他机器下载https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c7-py2.4.egg
然后上传至客户机再继续安装

tar zxf simplejson-2.0.9.tar.gz
cd simplejson-2.0.9
python setup.py install

建议CentOS5.8 安装此版本的koan使用可以避免此问题
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/5/i386/koan-1.6.6-1.el5.noarch.rpm

9.5 报错五

xen package needs to be installed

Xen 宿主机安装虚拟机时提示没有安装xen软件包
解决：

yum install xen -y

执行此命令会安装一共9个软件包，如下

解决：
报错原因是xend服务没有启动，执行以下命令处理

chkconfig xend on
/etc/init.d/xend start
#注意此过程会自动桥接网卡，可能出现短暂断网

解决

我安装的
系统版本:CentOS5.8 64bit
koan版本:koan-2.2.3-2.el5
xen版本：xen-3.0.3-142.el5_9.2
通过EPEL安装的koan版本为koan-2.2.3-2.el5，使用中报错较多，后更换为koan-1.6.6-1.el5此版本比较稳定，下载链接：ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/5/i386/koan-1.6.6-1.el5.noarch.rpm

9.9 报错九

cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : comment 'dists' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support
2 : comment 'arches' on /etc/debmirror.conf for proper debian support
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

解决
关于debmirror编辑注释
修改 /etc/debmirror.conf 配置文件，注释掉 @dists 和 @arches 两行

sed -i 's|@dists=.*|#@dists=|' /etc/debmirror.conf
sed -i 's|@arches=.*|#@arches=|' /etc/debmirror.conf

解决
选择合适的power类型，报错后面已经列出可选参数，我这里使用的DELL PE1950应该选择ipmilan

cobbler system edit --name=host-188116 --power-address=172.17.11.20 --power-type='ipmilan' --power-user=root --power-pass=djxxxx
