New Installations — Starting with Satellite 5.3.0 it is possible to provision systems that have not previously had any operating system installed (also known as bare metal installations).

Virtual Installations — Satellite supports KVM, Xen fully-virtualized guests, and Xen para-virtualized guests. Previously only Xen paravirtualized guests were supported as a virtualization type.

Re-provisioning — Both physical and guest systems can be re-provisioned with Satellite 5.3.0, provided that they've been registered to the same Satellite instance
