Yaniv, maybe you can clarify please, part III ?

Section 5 is needed to be able to connect to the now reinstalled host. Reinstall in section 6 is the reinstall the oVirt parts of the host, since this is now a new OS. Please let us know if you have suggested improvements. I agree that the work reinstall appears in two different contexts, so it can be confusing. Marina, if we add to the documentation the additional context that Yaniv provided, is this enough to fix Part III? Thanks Yaniv, for clarifying. So, how I suggest to fix it now: 4. Upgrade each host: -> Here I have a lot of uncertainty how to phrase. Since in my opinion, this is not upgrade, but actually reinstall of the OS from RHEL6 to RHEL7. Using the word "upgrade" sounds super confusing. Maybe we can say instead: Reinstall each host with RHEL 7 / with new operating system ? 5. In the Administration Portal, update the host's SSH fingerprint: --> Update host's new SSH fingerprints in the Administrator Portal to allow the manager to connect to the host after reinstallation: ( can skip the second part explaining why, if you want) 6. Reinstall the host: --> Install RHV packages on the host: Thanks very much for the feedback, Marina! I'll target and assign this now. Assigning to Byron for review.
