Example of Scale Infrastructure for OSP Provider

Description of problem:
'Scale Infrastructure Provider' under OSP Director provider is not user friendly:
- there are no explanation on what the fields mean 
- there are no labels
- there is no documentation
As a end user, I have no idea how this works. Screen is not intuitive at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.8.1.5.20170725160636_e433fc0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to an OSP Director Provider
2. Click on Configuration > Scale Infrastructure Provider

Actual results:
Incomprehensible screen.

Expected results:
Some guidance on what to do.

Additional info:
See attached screenshot.

Please assess the impact of this issue and update the severity accordingly.  Please refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity for a reminder on each severity's definition.

If it's something like a tracker bug where it doesn't matter, please set it to Low/Low.

Fix is here: https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic/pull/4896

The PR fixes the form labels. Previously, they were just displaying the internal parameter names from the orchestration stack. Now, instead of "ComputeCount" the user will see "Number of Compute Hosts", etc. As for further guidance, adding textual documentation on the screen seems to be inconsistent with the remainder of MIQ/CloudForms style, but there is already validation in place that makes it clear that the number of hosts specified across the host/node types should be equal to or less than the total available as displayed on the form. For example, if "Number of Hosts" shows on the form as 3, and the user selects 2 compute nodes, 1 controller node, and a ceph storage node, "Assigning 4 but only have 3 hosts available"

Reopening and moving to POST, since this was ON_DEV when it got autoclosed and the fix has since been merged.

@ Scott,could you please add the relevant information on documentation (infrastructure_inventory.pdf)
Currently, on 4.7  only scaling down is documented
