Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hosts which are managed by satellite may wish to be "locked" so that no changes are accidently made. This lock should ensure that:

1) No new content is consumed by the host
2) No configuration changes are made to the host
3) No remote execution commands are sent to the host 

This was a feature of satellite 5 which can be read about at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network/5.0.0/html/Reference_Guide/s3-sm-system-details.html.

There are some old bugs aroudn locking which should be included when implementing this RFE:
