Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 7.2.1
Describe the issue:
This doesnt really specify that these commands need to be run from the capsule server, it assumed that customer should run it.
I think we can improve this with adding
[root@capsule] # ping -c1 `hostname -f`
On this part, it asks customer to run commands to check for the following.
Full forward and reverse DNS resolution using a fully qualified domain name. Check that hostname and localhost resolve correctly, using the following commands:
ping -c1 `hostname -f`
hostname: Unknown host
Can we have an example of a working hostname check
ping -c1 `hostname -f`
PING capsulejnikolaksat6rhel6.pek.redhat.com (10.66.222.36) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from capsulejnikolaksat6rhel6.pek.redhat.com (10.66.222.36): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms
Why do we need reverse, what do we need forward?

Can you take a look at the rewritten Installation Guide content, section 2.8, here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/version-6.2-beta/installation-guide/ to ensure that it is sufficient?
I've added the following text to this as well to clarify where the user is running the commands:
Verifying the full forward and reverse DNS resolution using a fully-qualified domain name enables you to prevent issues while installing Satellite or Capsule Server. If you are installing Satellite Server, run this command on the Satellite Server. If you are installing Capsule Server, run this command on Capsule Server.
Can you clarify what you mean by your last question?
