Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/machine_management/user_infra/adding-rhel-compute.html

Section Number and Name: System requirements for RHEL compute nodes

Describe the issue: Need to update the text to reference 7.9 support

Suggestions for improvement: Need to update the text to reference 7.9 support, there may be other areas that have the same rhel 7 versions mentioned, those should be updated in 4.6 and later.

Additional information: tested configs solution has rhel versions mentioned https://access.redhat.com/articles/4763741

In addition to the page Scott referenced above, both 7.6 and 7.7 versions are called out on 7 other pages. Is there anyway, we can also get these pages updated as well?

The release notes state "OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 or later"

I updated the above files to also state "RHEL 7.7 or later".
All above pages share the same module with the *Minimum resource requirements* table. All are updated.

Comment 5 Katherine Dubé 2021-01-26 16:11:00 UTC 
It should be RHEL 7.8 or 7.9 for OCP 4.6. 

As you can see from the QE test matrix for 4.6, they only test RHEL 7 up to N-1: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1buGbldaWYzt5cSIoOyUSpn01FauMhRetxtE1ustlOmU/edit?usp=sharing

Likewise, all those references in 4.5 needs to be fixed to say RHEL 7.7 or 7.8. Thanks!
