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.

Description of problem:

[RFE] Satellite-clone should keep the same version of satellite from where it is being restored/cloned.

For eg.
Cloning Red Hat Satellite 6.4.1 to new destination server updating the version to 6.4.3 and it is failing during the satellite-clone process where as cloning it from 6.4.3 works fine and completed successfully.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- Satellite 6.x

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Backup the source server using satellite-backup utility.
2. Copy and restore it to the destination server using satellite-clone utility.

Actual results:
Cloning the satellite server is updating the satellite version to the latest available minor version.

Expected results:
It should keep the same version of satellite from where it is being restored/cloned.

If it is expected to retain the same z-stream version of the Satellite after a clone, use a Satellite ISO and set the 'enable_repos' option to false with Satellite-clone. There is no ability to 'install a specific z-stream version of Satellite from the CDN'
