scalable-file-systems package group does not exists with kickstart
I have added the group 'scalable-file-systems' to my kickstart file. While installing using the kickstart file it says: "You have specified the group 'scalable-file-systems' should be installed. This group does not exist. Would you liike to continue or abort the installation?" does not exits.

Hello Asela,
If you have created Kickstart profile on Red Hat Satellite then you need to confirm whether kickstart profile is enabled with Scalable File System channel or not. Because package group " scalable-file-systems " is provided only by Scalable File System channel .
If you are using kickstart created on Red Hat Satellite then you need to follow steps bellow to enable Scalable File System channel
Open Kickstart profile on Satellite webui -> Operating System -> Under " Child Channels*:" section enable check box for channel label -
rhel-x86_64-server-sfs-6
Depending on architecture of RHEL 6 Base channel you need to select respective Scalable Filesystem channel.
Hope this helps.

Asela,
Is the media you are using official Red Hat media? (if so which image), or an image you have created in house? My official RHEL 6.4 media doesn't show this package group.
If you mount the iso on another server and configure it as a yum repo, does 'scalable-file-systems' show as a valid group name when running 'yum grouplist'?
Asela,
While installing system from RHEL 6.5 DVD we get option to select additional repositories where we have to select "Scalable Filesystem Support" to have scalable-file-systems package group enabled. In DVD we have separate directory called "ScalableFileSystem" which has repodata where scalable-file-systems package group is defined.
So as suggested by James you need to add command to enable repository :
repo --name=scalable-filesystem --baseurl=file://
