Build Identifier: 

With the inclusion of REAR in RHEL 7.2 it would be great if Sat 6 could work as a repository for the backup images.  These images could then be made available for redeployment to create new clones of existing servers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Generate a backup with REAR
2.  Rear uploads the image to Satellite
3.  User selects existing REAR and bases a new server on that image.
Actual Results:  
Cloned system is deployed


This would be a very useful feature as we push into AIX heavy environments.  They are accustomed to using the IBM supplied deployment server to store mksysb backup images.  These images are then available for deployment.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
