CentOS7.3下利用Cobbler2.8.0安装部署ESXi 5.5

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

*** TASK COMPLETE ***
[root@cobbler ~]# echo $?
0
说明：以上的输出结果可知，导入没有问题

3、编辑kickstart文件

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
