Proxy Migration from 5.0 to 5.1

1. Verify System and SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Tools version.

   cat /etc/os-release
   mgrpxy --version

   Confirm:

   • Operating System: SLE Micro 5.5

   • Tools version: 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. Refresh the product catalog

   • In the SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Web UI, navigate to Admin  Setup Wizard  Products.

   • Click the Refresh button on the right-hand side to update the product catalog from SUSE Customer Center.

4. Synchronize the new Proxy Products in SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Server. For more information, see Software Products.

   Use the Web UI to synchronize:

   • SUSE Linux Micro 6.1

   • SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy Extension 5.1

5. Perform proxy product migration. For more information, see Product Migration.

   Navigate to the proxy system and select Systems  Overview > Software  Product Migration.

   Migrate from

   • SLE Micro 5.5 + SUSE Manager Proxy 5.0 Extension

     to

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

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

     It is recommended to do a dry-run first before performing the actual migration.

6. Monitor the migration action.

   You can follow the process under Systems  Details  Events tab in the Web UI.

7. After the upgrade completes, stop the proxy container and then reboot the system.

   mgrpxy stop
   reboot

8. Perform post-reboot checks.

   Verify upgraded OS and SUSE Multi-Linux Manager extension:

   cat /etc/os-release
   SUSEConnect --status-text

   You should see:

   • PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Micro 6.1"

   • SUSE Multi-Linux Manager Proxy 5.1 Extension

9. Verify SUSE Multi-Linux Manager tools version.

   mgrpxy --version

   Expected output:

   • mgrpxy version 5.1.11 or higher

10. 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

    Restart the service:

    systemctl restart sshd

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