Document URL: 

https://dxp-docp-prod.apps.ext-waf.spoke.prod.us-west-2.aws.paas.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.14/html-single/installing_satellite_server_in_a_connected_network_environment/index?lb_target=preview


Section Number and Name: 

3.4. Configuring Repositories

3.4.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8


Describe the issue: 

There is a Note section which says:
~~~~~
Note

If you are installing Satellite Server as a virtual machine hosted on Red Hat Virtualization, you must also enable the Red Hat Common repository, and install Red Hat Virtualization guest agents and drivers. For more information, see Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in the Virtual Machine Management Guide. 
~~~~~

While clicking on the hyperlink "Installing the Guest Agents and Drivers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" from above Note section, it redirects to a new page: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/installing_guest_agents_and_drivers_linux#Installing_the_Guest_Agents_and_Drivers_on_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux and in the new page users are asked to enable repository "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms"

"# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms"


Suggestions for improvement: Satellite-6.14 can only be deployed on RHEL-8. The "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms" is already enabled while installing Satellite as part of command mentioned in "3.4.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8" section within same documentation. Adding a Note where users are redirected to "virtual_machine_management_guide" and asking them to enable "rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms" repository again does not make sense. As this repository should be already enabled by user beforehand.


Additional information: The mentioned NOTE section should be removed from the Satellite-6.14 documentation as it is valid only for a scenario when Satellite is being deployed on RHEL-6 and RHEL-7 machine which is not a acceptable scenario in Satellite-6.14.
