Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hi Cheryn,you are right the "Download Software"tab still exists.It's great to add a link to the Customer Portal in Step 1,because I logged in http://rhn.redhat.com to test this. Another question,I didn't found Guest Tools ISO for 2.3 in Red Hat Enterprise Virt Manager for Desktops (v.2 x86) or Red Hat Enterprise Virt Manager for Servers (v.2 x86) channel.As your comment,you will chang the version to 2.2,but the step 5 is still Guest Tools ISO for 2.3.
