Hello,

Is a good idea to register the susemanager server to himself ?

No, and in fact you must not do this (I think it is even in the  
documentation). You can register a SUMa Proxy to a SUMa server for  
updates (and you probably should), but the main SUMa box should get  
patches directly from something else, if only because if it breaks, you  
will not be able to access repositories to rollback since those  
repositories are local and now broken.

–  
Good luck.

No, you shouldn’t do this.

In case it already happened, see [https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE\_Manager/BootstrapOnServer](https://wiki.microfocus.com/index.php/SUSE_Manager/BootstrapOnServer)
