Release notes for SUSE Manager 4.0 Proxy

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 2GB and approx 50 GB of disk space per distribution or channel.

See the Advanced Topics manual for more details on the system requirements.

SUSE Manager Proxy is distributed as a bundle of SLES 15 SP1 x86_64 with the SUSE Manager Proxy application.

Installation of SUSE Manager Proxy 4 is done via the SUSE Manager Server 4 web interface.

See the Advanced Topics manual for step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring SUSE Manager Proxy 4.0.

Upgrading an existing SUSE Manager Proxy 3.2 system to SUSE Manager Proxy 4.0 can be done by an in-place upgrade or by setting up a new system, replacing the old one.

Both approaches are described in the SUSE Manager 4.0 "Upgrade Guide", look for "Migrating SUSE Manager Proxy 3.2 to SUSE Manager Proxy 4.0"

Not supported. Please re-install SUSE Manager Proxy 4.0 from scratch.

SUSE Manager Proxy 4.0 can only work with SUSE Manager 4.0 Server.
