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.

Comment 20 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-06 13:56:49 UTC 
Is there a way to test the proposed solution?
Comment 21 Stephen Benjamin 2018-12-06 14:22:23 UTC 
What are you looking to test? RHEL 8 support is planned for Satellite 6.5.

If you are using 6.4 or earlier, and have synced the RHEL 8 content, you might be able to get it to work by manually editing the kickstart template, and adding a `repo` directive pointing at AppStream in addition to BaseOS, and updating any packages (e.g. use chrony instead of ntpd), but it wouldn't be a supported configuration.
Comment 22 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-06 14:45:03 UTC 
I am running a Satellite 6.4 and wish to deploy RHEL 6.8 beta.
I am aware that both are not supported by Red Hat, that is always the case with Beta pre-releases.

Which kickstart template provided by Red Hat has to be edited to be able to do the deployment?
Comment 23 Stephen Benjamin 2018-12-06 14:46:59 UTC 
6.8 Beta? Do you mean 8.0? 

It's called Kickstart default in Satellite 6.4, I believe, you'd have to unlock it or clone it to edit it.
Comment 24 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-06 14:51:02 UTC 
RHEL 8.0 beta, sorry for the type error
Comment 25 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-06 18:34:38 UTC 
Multiple repo lines in kickstart template causes an installation resource error in anaconda.
Comment 26 Adam Ruzicka 2018-12-07 09:57:58 UTC 
@Jan: Could you post the template you used?

The RHEL7 docs[1] say it should work and when I last tried it it worked.

Screen grab of the console showing that the installation source is invalid.

When trying to fix the installation source issue only one repository is shown

I do not see both repositories, only the BaseOS
Comment 31 Adam Ruzicka 2018-12-07 11:53:03 UTC 
My guess would be you need to provide --baseurl=$URL_TO_REPO_IN_SATELLITE to the repo lines. Without it anaconda doesn't know where it should find the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream Beta (RPMs)" repository. But take this with a grain of salt, I don't have a machine at hand to test it
Comment 32 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-07 12:02:16 UTC 
@Adam: I will test it.
Comment 33 Jan Gerrit Kootstra 2018-12-07 12:57:19 UTC 
@Adam: It did not fix the issue.
Even though I specified the baseurl as https URLs, anaconda shows the baseos as a http URL and fails to continue.
Will stick to an ISO installation from libvirtd for now.
