Description Stephen Gordon 2013-10-11 21:28:38 UTC 
Title: Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Describe the issue:

In "Procedure 9.1. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux" the user is told to disable NetworkManager usng this command:

    Disable NetworkManager.

    #service NetworkManager stop

This only stops NetworkManager for the current boot, my understanding is that it needs to be disabled permanently.

Suggestions for improvement:

Add additional command:

    # chkconfig NetorkManager disable

Reassigning to Jodi Biddle (jbiddle) as I am no longer working on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization documentation.
Comment 2 Zac Dover 2013-12-09 06:05:01 UTC 
This is now in Section 8.1, here:

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.3/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#Installing_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux1

What to do
----------
Change the following text:

  You must configure the network so that the host can contact the Manager.
  First, disable NetworkManager. Then configure the networking scripts so 
  that the host will acquire an ip address on boot.

    Disable NetworkManager.

    # service NetworkManager stop

To this text:

 You must configure the network so that the host can contact the Manager.
  First, disable NetworkManager. Then configure the networking scripts so 
  that the host will acquire an ip address on boot.

    Disable NetworkManager.

    # service NetworkManager stop

    # chkconfig NetworkManager disable

When that is done, move this bug ON_QA.
