https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.0/installing-cloudforms-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-openstack-platform/chapter-2-configuring-cloudforms#configuring_an_internal_database

Section Number and Name:
2.4. Configuring an Internal Database

Describe the issue:
In the Important section, there is no information about how CloudForms handles disks with filesystems on them.

Suggestions for improvement:
As CloudForms only supports installs of an internal vmdb on blank disks, this section should warn users to wipe non-blank disks, lest the installation will fail.
