Comment 1 Lukas Zapletal 2017-05-09 11:24:14 UTC

Satellite 6 currently only supports management of s390x client systems, not provisioning.

We are tracking request to support LPAR/zVM provisioning, no plans has been set yet: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398386

Comment 7 Lukas Zapletal 2017-09-26 15:24:19 UTC

For the record, discovery feature for S390x is yet supported because there are some technical limitations. The most important one is that the facter component does not work on this platform, so it is not just a matter of rebuilding ISO for S390x architecture.

We are currently evaluating to add z/VM provisioning support (without discovery) via zPXE emulation script tho:

There is another BZ for that:

The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.

Comment 9 Bryan Kearney 2019-01-04 13:08:51 UTC

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
