2.1. Software Requirements

To perform an installation, the following software-related components must be available:
- Base operating system: Satellite 5.8 and Satellite Proxy 5.8 are only supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. You can install the operating system using any of the methods supported by Red Hat.
- Satellite Proxy requires an equal or high version of Satellite. For example, Satellite Proxy 5.6 works with Satellite 5.6 and Satellite 5.8, but Satellite Proxy 5.8 works only with Satellite 5.8.
- A Satellite Proxy entitlement within the Satellite Server account.
- A Provisioning entitlement within the Satellite Server account (this is packaged with the Satellite Proxy entitlement).
- Access to the Red Hat Network Tools channel for the installed version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This channel includes the spacewalk-proxy-installer package that contains the
configure-proxy.shinstallation program required to install Satellite Proxy. - All rhncfg* packages installed on the Satellite Proxy (from the Red Hat Network Tools channel).
- Either the spacewalk-certs-tools package installed on the Satellite Proxy (from the Red Hat Network Tools channel) for Hosted users, or the secure sockets layer (SSL) CA certificate password used to generate the parent server certificate for Satellite Server users.
Important
Red Hat Satellite Proxy Server 5.8 can only run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. It can manage clients of any RHEL version when used with Satellite 5.8.
Virtualization Support
You can install Satellite Proxy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or 6 in any virtualized environment that Red Hat supports, including Xen, Hyper-V, KVM, and VMware. For more information about supported environments, see https://access.redhat.com/site/certified-hypervisors.
In production deployments, Red Hat recommends that you deploy Satellite Proxy as the sole application running on the underlying physical hardware to avoid contention issues. Also, be aware that functional support for virtualized environments does not always equal the performance of running on physical hardware, so carefully consider the virtualized environment of choice and any recommended tuning guidelines.
Each purchased Satellite Proxy includes one supported instance of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server. Satellite Proxy must be installed onto a fresh installation of Enterprise Linux, and where Satellite Proxy is the only application and service provided by the operating system. Using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system included in Satellite Proxy to run other daemons, applications, or services within the environment is not supported.
Obtaining the Required Package Sets
Each version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux requires a certain package set to support Satellite Proxy. Adding more packages can cause errors during installation. Therefore, Red Hat recommends obtaining the desired package set in the following ways:
- For kickstart installations, specify the following package group:
@Base - For installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux from CD or ISO image, select the following package group:
