Much of the discussion is private, so let me summarize current status (Fall 2017). Satellite 6.3 will be coming out without S/360 provisioning support. We are currently evaluating how much work is it to add this feature.
I am renaming this BZ to zVM only. If LPAR provisioning integration is needed, please file a separate BZ. I am currently evaluating zPXE emulation script integration, please reach out to customers if this is a viable option: https://github.com/beaker-project/zpxe
I have an update on this. I am currently working on integrating zVM with Sat 6.2 via hostgroup provisioning. Here is a video how to set hostgroup provisioning: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=579f_yAuqgo I am not done yet, I hit a bug in CDN (missing s390x file): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1501442 We should be able to document how to set things up for zVM provisioning with Satellite 6.2 soon. I will keep you informed, not there yet.
The correct YT link is: https://youtu.be/579f_yAuqgo
Another bug is that kickstart media is not being created for s390x architecture: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364401 Will be fixed. Carrying on with testing.
This YT works with Satellite 6.2: https://youtu.be/579f_yAuqgo This YT is for Satellite 6.3 (it was recorded via upstream release - it's in blue color): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc5DN_Xov40 Threre are only small differences between Satellite 6.2 and 6.3, the key concept stays the same - use hostgroup provisioning. Testing the whole workflow end-to-end with z/VM is still on our radar. I have no ETA.
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable 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.
