2.2. Hardware Requirements
The following hardware configuration is required for the Satellite Proxy:
- A Pentium IV Processor or equivalent
- 2G of memory required; 4G of memory recommended
- 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 Satellite Proxy. If the default interval of four hours (or 240 minutes) as set in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd configuration file of the client systems is reduced, the load on this component increases significantly.
Note
The installation procedure configures the caching abilities to be optimized for resources available. Provide more memory and disk space prior to installation to increase active caching within Red Hat Satellite Proxy.
