Assigning to Misa for review.

Misa - what we need to do is add a section to the Virtual Instances Guide similar to the others like 'Configuring virt-who to Connect to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor' that covers the steps for KVM.

See the above article for the details.

Hello Harshad,


I have reviewed your request and suggest closing this bug. There is no need to change the 6.3 documentation [1] as the new plugin takes care of the virt-who configuration. As to 6.2, the virt-who configuration for a KVM host is documented here [2]. 

I want to make sure that I understood your request and that you are satisfied with the decision to close the bug before actually doing so.


Thank you!

--------------------------

Hello Michaela,

You can go-ahead and close this Bugzilla since the virt-who configuration for a KVM host is documented here [2]. 

regarding There is no need to change the 6.3 documentation

I am not fully convinced that this shouldn't be included in 6.3 Virtual Instance guide since already documented in hammer guide.

But from the customer perspective (who worked on 6.2 and earlier) when I go to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.3/ I see separate Virtual Instances Guide and this doesn't cover the steps.

So we should mention the steps in 6.3 guide or should provide some link to refer Hammer CLI Guide. However I have already created new Bugzilla for the same.
