Created attachment 1413940 [details] Revised procedure for adding a RHV provider Attached is a screenshot of the procedure with extra clarification.
I've had a chat with Tahlia Richardson (long-time technical writer for the RHV docs team, CCed) about the terminology and how to make this more clear. "MSA Hosted Engine" is not a common term, and doesn't exist in the RHV documentation, and we want to continue to remain consistent with docs for other Red Hat products to avoid confusion for users. The IP address/hostname that should be entered here is that of the RHV Manager (which is not always a self-hosted engine -- it can also be hosted elsewhere). So the change I've made, to provide a bit of extra clarification for users is: Was: Enter the Hostname or IPv4 or IPv6 address of the provider. Now: Enter the Hostname or IPv4 or IPv6 address of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. Suyog, would you mind reviewing and letting me know your thoughts on the change, and the issue raised here? https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq_docs/pull/789 And Gilbert, let me know if you have any additional thoughts on this. Many thanks, Dayle
That sounds more informative/clear
Thanks, Suyog and Gilbert. I've published this update in the 4.5 and 4.6 guides now in "1.2.2. Adding a Red Hat Virtualization Provider": https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_cloudforms/4.5/html-single/managing_providers/ https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_cloudforms/4.6/html-single/managing_providers/
