SUSE Manager Proxy Server is an add-on to SUSE Manager Server providing mirroring proxy support. This allows for load distribution and improved scalability.
Operation is completely transparent. The SUSE Manager Proxy looks like a managed client to SUSE Manager Server and like a Server to the managed clients. Managed clients only talk to the Proxy Server which in turn communicates to the SUSE Manager Server.
All RPM packages that pass the Proxy Server are cached and subsequent client requests for these packages are resolved from the cache.
SUSE Manager Proxy Server is a 64bit application. Recommended main memory is 1GB and approx 25 GB of disk space per distribution or channel.
See the Quick Start guide for more details on the system requirements.
SUSE Manager Proxy Server is distributed as an appliance which bundles an operating system (SLES 11 SP2 x86_64) with the SUSE Manager Proxy Server application.
The installable ISO of the SUSE Manager Proxy appliance can be deployed on physical hardware or fully virtualized (e.g. KVM, VMware) hosts.
The para-virtual XEN image available with SUSE Manager Proxy 1.2 is discontinued with SUSE Manager Proxy 1.7
Installation is done in two major steps. The first installs the appliance and configures the underlying SLES 11 operating system. The second configures SUSE Manager Proxy Server.
See the QuickStart manual for step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring SUSE Manager Proxy Server.
This functionality will be available shortly. For the time being, leave an existing SUSE Manager Proxy at version 1.2 and only update the SUSE Manager Server.
SUSE Manager Proxy 1.7 can only work with SUSE Manager Server 1.7
SUSE Manager Server 1.7 can work with SUSE Manager Proxy 1.2 or 1.7
