Hello,

at this point (Satellite 6.2) we only support Intel x86_64 provisioning via PXE, Discovery and Bootdisk (SYSLINUX and iPXE - with limited hardware support - see [1]). Please note this is scope of support that Red Hat currently provides, Satellite 6 is technically capable of provisioning non-intel architectures. We have reports of other architectures working with Satellite 6, for example IBM POWER with Satellite 6.2: https://access.redhat.com/articles/2775421

For Satellite 6.3 the level of support will be extended with Intel x86_64 UEFI for RHEL7 clients. For more info about the scope see [2]. This document should be considered as the one that is updated accordingly when new release comes out.
