2.2. Hardware Requirements
The following hardware configuration is required for the RHN Proxy Server:
- A Pentium IV Processor or equivalent
- 512 MB of memory
- At least 5 GB storage for base install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- 6 GB storage per distribution/channel
The load on the Apache Web server is directly related to the frequency with which client systems connect to the Proxy. If you reduce the default interval of four hours (or 240 minutes) as set in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd configuration file of the client systems, you will increase the load on this component significantly.
Note
RHN Proxy Server does not support kickstart provisioning on multi-homed network topologies. Kickstarts will not function properly on a Proxy server that has more than one network interface.
