Satellite 6 supports HTTP UEFI Boot provisioning for some time now, but there were some bugs in Grub2 bootloader which prevented from using that on RHEL7-based HTTPBOOT Capsule. This is now fixed and will be in future version of RHEL7, therefore we should make sure that those are documented.
The HTTP UEFI provisioning process is the same as PXE process, the only difference is that PXE loader must be set to "Grub2 UEFI" and a capsule with HTTPBoot feature must be associate with the provisioning subnet. Other than that, everything works out of box including Discovery.
QA NOTES:
To enable IPv6 UEFI you must create libvirt VM in UEFI mode, then hit ESC and enter EFI firmware TUI, change boot order to boot HTTP UEFI IPv4 as the first item.
When testing, make sure latest grub2 from 7.9 RHEL is installed before foreman-installer is executed.
The HTTP boot process on IPv6 has been tested using the guide that is a part of this PR: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-documentation/pull/116/files
The IPv6 HTTP boot and provisioning works correctly, a host boots from the network, and is successfully kickstarted.
