Missing PTR record can cause significant performance degradation of the RHEV-M Web UI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installation guide for 3.6 and 4.0 Expected results: A section regarding to the DNS requirement and the PRT record should be added to the chapter "System requirements" in the installation guide.
