Red Hat Knowledge Base (Solution) 4222731 0 Supportability None Are RHEL hypervisors supported in RHHI-V deployment? 2019-06-14 18:01:27 UTC

Description Marina Kalinin 2019-06-14 18:01:28 UTC
It is not clearly stated in the official documentation of RHHI-V deployment today that only RHVH hosts are supported for the general audience and creates confusion.

I suggest to add a note to chapter 5 of the deployment guide to make more clear:  
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/1.6/html/deploying_red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/install-host-physical-machines


Here is the KCS that describes the details, if needed:

Comment 2 Laura Bailey 2019-06-26 02:59:17 UTC
We link directly to the appropriate installation process [1] for RHV Host, and we state in Requirements the appropriate versions of RHV Host to use [2].

@Marina, how do you think we could be clearer or more explicit here?

Generally it is more difficult and cumbersome to specifically call out what we do *not* support, rather than including only what we do support.

Comment 3 Marina Kalinin 2019-06-28 23:29:04 UTC
Laura, I understand. But we must clearly state what we support and we do not right now.
One suggestion would be what we do in RHV docs - add RHVH in brackets to make it more clear maybe? Like this:
"Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH) " each time you say "Red Hat Virtualization Host" in the links we have here (yours [2] and mine).

Comment 5 Marina Kalinin 2019-07-02 15:49:01 UTC
Thank you! Yes.

Comment 7 SATHEESARAN 2019-07-11 15:26:28 UTC
There are the couple of sections that clearly has the important sign-board to make use of 'Red Hat Virtualization Host' and no RHEL host

Comment 8 SATHEESARAN 2019-07-11 15:27:02 UTC
Laura,

Is that change also part of single node deployment guide ?
