Proxy Migration

1. Verify System and Proxy Version

   cat /etc/os-release
   mgrpxy --version

   Confirm:

   • Operating System: SLE Micro 5.5

   • Proxy Component: mgrpxy version 0.1.29 or higher

2. Check Running Containers

   podman ps

   Ensure the following containers are running:

   • proxy-squid

   • proxy-ssh

   • proxy-httpd

   • proxy-tftpd

   • proxy-salt-broker

3. Synchronize Proxy Products in SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Server

   Use the Web UI to synchronize:

   • SL-Micro 6.1

   • SUSE Multi-Linux Manager 5.1 Proxy Extension

4. Perform Proxy Product Migration

   Use the Web UI to migrate from:

   • SLE Micro 5.5 + SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy 5.0 Extension to

   • SL Micro 6.1 + SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy 5.1 Extension

     Do not select optional channels when prompted, unless you have confirmed they are required.

5. Monitor the Migration Action

6. Reboot the System

   reboot

7. Post-Reboot Validation

   cat /etc/os-release
   mgrpxy --version

   Expected:

   • OS: SL Micro 6.1

   • Updated Proxy version

8. Enable Root SSH Access (if required). SL Micro 6.1 disables root login via SSH by default. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/sshd.conf:

   PermitRootLogin yes

   And restart the service:

   systemctl restart sshd

   For more information, see Remote root login on SL Micro.

9. Upgrade proxy containers:

   mgrpxy upgrade podman

10. Validate Proxy Containers

    podman ps

    All expected proxy containers should be up and running.

1. Verify Operating System and Proxy Version

   cat /etc/os-release
   mgrpxy --version

   Expected Output:

   NAME="SLES"
   VERSION="15-SP6"
   VERSION_ID="15.6"
   PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6"
   ID="sles"
   ID_LIKE="suse"

   and

   mgrpxy version 0.1.29 (HEAD 053c629)

2. List Running Proxy Containers

   podman ps

   Verify the following containers are running:

   • proxy-salt-broker

   • proxy-httpd

   • proxy-squid

   • proxy-tftpd

   • proxy-ssh

   • Supporting infrastructure container(s)

3. Synchronize Products on the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Server

   Using the Web UI, synchronize the following:

   • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6

   • SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy Extension 5.0

4. Trigger the Product Migration via Web UI

   Navigate to the proxy system in the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Web UI and select:

   • Migrate from: SLES 15 SP6 + Manager Proxy Extension 5.0

   • To: SLES 15 SP7 + Manager Proxy Extension (updated channels)

     When prompted, do not select optional channels unless you have confirmed they are required.

5. Monitor the Migration Job

   Check job status under the system action history in the Web UI.

6. Reboot the Proxy System

   reboot

7. Validate Post-Reboot Status

   cat /etc/os-release
   mgrpxy --version

   Expected:

   • OS: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7

   • Updated mgrpxy version (e.g., 5.1.9)

8. Update proxy containers:

   mgrpxy upgrade podman

9. Confirm Proxy Containers Are Operational

   podman ps

   Ensure all relevant proxy containers are up:

   • proxy-salt-broker

   • proxy-httpd

   • proxy-squid

   • proxy-tftpd

   • proxy-ssh
