Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
this is from BETA repo :satellite-clone-1.2.5-1.el7sat.noarch

OR

this is from GA repo : satellite-clone-1.2.2-1.el7sat.noarch


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Backup satellite 6.3 server(using katello-backup).
2.Enable 'rhel-7-server-satellite-maintenance-6-rpms'  or  'rhel-7-server-satellite-maintenance-6-beta-rpms' on new system.
3.#satellite-clone  [mention backup path in etc/satellite-clone/satellite-clone-vars.yml]

Actual results:
It fails to enable satellite 6.3 repos.

Expected results:
It should enable satellite 6.3 repos and continue cloning.

Comment 2 John Mitsch 2018-09-20 15:35:05 UTC 
I'm confused, what version of satellite clone are you using? If it is working on the master branch, it should be working in satellite-clone 1.2.5
Comment 5 John Mitsch 2018-09-21 13:50:57 UTC 
That should be clearly documented, but a check to fail early if no metadata.yml is present is a good idea. Feel free to file an issue on the repo here https://github.com/RedHatSatellite/satellite-clone
Comment 7 Mike McCune 2018-09-24 21:59:11 UTC 
Suraj Patil,

Myself and others have used the 6.4 Beta satellite-clone RPM many times to clone 6.3 systems without error and it works perfectly.

If metadata.yml is missing, this is an issue with the backup tooling or the user who created the backup and not satellite-clone.

If you follow the set of enabled repositories from comment #4:

# subscription-manager repos \
--enable rhel-7-server-satellite-maintenance-6-beta-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-ansible-2.6-rpms \
--enable rhel-7-server-rpms

# yum install satellite-clone

it should work without any intervention. I just ran this exact routine with a 6.3 backup *today* without error.
