Chapter 2. Product Notes

Satellite 5.6 uses new Enhanced Reporting features that integrate with Subscription Asset Manager (SAM) 1.3 and later. Note that Subscription Asset Manager 1.3 is only supported on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 64-bit architecture only, and likewise for Enhanced Entitlements Reporting features.

Satellite 5.6 now uses a PostgreSQL embedded database instead of Oracle Database. As a result, the database path for Satellite 5.6 has changed from /rhnsat to /var/lib/pgsql. Allocate appropriate disk space as needed.

Building ISOs with the cobbler buildiso command is supported for Satellite hosts on the x86_64 architecture. This feature is not available for Satellite hosts on the s390x architecture.
