Section Number and Name:

[2] 3.3.4. Configuring Red Hat Satellite with an Answer File
[3] 3.5.4. Configuring DNS, DHCP, and TFTP on Satellite Server
[4] 4.6.1. Configuring Capsule Server with a Default Server Certificate
[5] 4.7.5. Configuring DNS and DHCP on Capsule Server
[6] 4.7.6.4. Install the Capsule Server’s Custom Certificate

Describe the issue:

Documentation suggests to use command "satellite-installer --help" to display the available options and any default values, but suggested command gives error as shown below.

~~~
[root@sat62 ~]# satellite-installer  --help
ERROR: No installation scenario was selected, the installer can not continue.
       Even --help content is dependent on selected scenario.
       Select scenario with --scenario SCENARIO or list available scenarios with --list-scenarios.
[root@sat62 ~]# 
~~~ 

Suggestions for improvement:

"satellite-installer" help is available as per scenarios

1. --scenario capsule
2. --scenario satellite

So, help would be available as per scenario.

1. satellite-installer --scenario capsule --help
2. satellite-installer --scenario satellite --help
 

Additional information: 

There are chances that other document could have same problem.

Assigning to Vlada for review.

Vlada - see the above feedback. This looks like it applies specifically to the 6.2 documentation, but we might want to check the 6.3 and later content to see if the same references appear there as well.
