Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.11/html-single/upgrading_and_updating_red_hat_satellite/index#migrating-satellite-to-a-new-el-system_upgrade-guide

Section Number and Name: 
Chapter 5. Migrating Satellite to a New Red Hat Enterprise Linux System

Describe the issue: 

Need instructions for FIPS will it support if backup taken from a non-fips enabled satellite and restored on fips enabled satellite 

Suggestions for improvement: 

As the customer aimed to enable FIPS on their satellite server, they opted for a fresh installation, followed by restoring the backup from the previous non-FIPS-enabled satellite.

So if we have a clear instructions on supported or not supported then they will go for a new installation instead of the upgrade or backup-restore method and save time
