Description of problem: Partitioning guidance is provided in Chapter 5. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts, but is not provided in Chapter 6. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hosts In Chapter 5. Red Hat Virtualization Hosts, section 5.1, step 7, there is an important note stating "Red Hat strongly recommends using the Automatically configure partitioning option." https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/installation_guide/#Installing_RHVH Further down in section 5.2.1 the document provides guidance for partitioning if custom partitioning is required. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/installation_guide/#Custom_Partitioning In Chapter 6. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hosts there is no guidance on partitioning. Partitioning information should be added for consistency. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/installation_guide/#chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_Hosts Assuming this is consistent for either approach, it could be placed in Chapter 4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This bug has not been marked as blocker for oVirt 4.3.0. Since we are releasing it tomorrow, January 29th, this bug has been re-targeted to 4.3.1.
I don't believe this matters for RHEL hosts really. It would only matter for those that would require NIST standard partitioning, but it is already covered in RHEL documentation and there is no need to duplicate. RHVH is different, because it requires LVM thin pool to be created for RHVH operations, and users usually forget to do that (or don't know they have to).
