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.
When you create a new operating system (Hosts->Operating Systems) and select the standard RH supplied media and then go to a host and under 'Operating System' assign this new OS then you can build this server with this OS and the provisioning templates assigned to it. However, when the server reports back into Satellite the Operating System (in the Operating System tab) will revert back to the name in the media (RHEL Server 6.5 in out case). If this OS has no provisioning templates assigned then you do not know exactly how you built the server. The operating system information should match the operating system you used to build the server with.

From Andrew:
We wanted to test if it was possible to create a custom OS (which the GUI seems to allow). So the issues are that I can create this but as details originally state a server build with this new OS will revert its name to the RH name.

Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Thanks for the report Karl, we introduced a setting to disable updating of OS based on incoming puppet facts. There are users who prefer OS updating based on current information from host which is why we made it optional. Would it solve the issue for you? It's tracked as BZ #1155704
If it does, please close this as a duplicate of it.
