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.
