Description of problem: The Procedure for A.3. UPDATING A SELF-HOSTED ENGINE (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/upgrade_guide/updating_a_self-hosted_engine_minor_updates) subsection "Updating the Red Hat Virtualization Manager" is missing initial steps to confirm subscriptions and repositories enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3 - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/upgrade_guide/updating_a_self-hosted_engine_minor_updates 4.4-beta - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-beta/html-single/upgrade_guide/index#Updating_a_self-hosted_engine_minor_updates How reproducible: Its a doc problem, so always. Actual results: One has to hunt around in the documentation to locate 5.2. Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cockpit_web_interface/installing_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_she_cockpit_deploy#Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM) to determine the list of subscriptions and repositories that need to be enabled before being able to successfully proceed through the A.3. UPDATING A SELF-HOSTED ENGINE steps. Expected results: A.3. UPDATING A SELF-HOSTED ENGINE (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/upgrade_guide/updating_a_self-hosted_engine_minor_updates) instructions should have intiial steps (essentially a copy/include or link to 5.2. Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cockpit_web_interface/installing_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_she_cockpit_deploy#Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM) to ensure the RHV-M (self-hosted engine) is subscribed to the correct subs and has the correct repos enabled.

For 4.3.11 there is already the following message: > Warning > Be sure to enable the correct repositories as detailed in Prerequisites. Otherwise, the upgrade might fail. If you go the Prerequisites section, there is a link to the correct section in the install guide. So I have lowered the priority. For 4.4 GA, I have addressed this a bit better by adding a Prerequisite section to the topic with the following text (this is the existing text in the Prerequisites section): - Ensure the Manager has the correct repositories enabled. For the list of required repositories, see Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories for Red Hat Virtualization 4.4. This links to: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4-beta/html-single/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_standalone_manager_with_local_databases/index#Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM.

Steve, Thank you. Having that link to the right doc with the repos and a distinct section for the prerequisites I think will help a lot. Blue skies, Ian
