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.

Section Number and Name:
Chapter 3. Cloning Satellite Server


Describe the issue:
This section contains "The Satellite clone tool does not support migrating a Capsule Server to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8."  I suspect this wording is leftover from 6.11 when satellites and capsules could run on either RHEL 7 or RHEL 8.

The fact that it states "to RHEL 8" causes the reader to wonder if the satellite clone tool can be used on a capsule for other purposes.


Suggestions for improvement:
Reword that sentence to just state:  "The Satellite clone tool cannot be used on a Capsule Server."


Additional information:
The clone tool really will not work on a capsule; the 3rd task checks to see if the satellite RPM is installed.
