Any update on this Bugzilla ?

Comment 3 Pavel Cahyna 2017-11-13 11:54:25 EST

I believe that secure boot is supported only in ReaR 2.2 and later. https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1374

Comment 4 Jagan 2017-11-13 13:10:14 EST

Hi Pavel Cahyna,

you are correct,ReaR 2.2 and later supports secure boot. 

In that case with RHEL 7.3 how we can use ReaR 2.2? with RHEL 7.3 distribution Rear1.17.2-9.el7_3.x86_64 is available. how we can get ReaR 2.2 with RHEL 7.3?

Thanks & Regards,
Jagan

Hi jagan,

sorry for the late reply. We are considering updating ReaR to a newer version in the next RHEL 7 release, which should bring this functionality.
