Description of problem: RHV 4.4 Documentation issue In the RHV 4.4 hosted engine installation documentation, it calls out that Cockpit HE install is deprecated, yet the main Install RHV 4.4 page calls out to use Cockpit to install it. If Cockpit is deprecated, we should promote using the command line for installation of HE, not Cockpit. NOTE Using Cockpit to install the self-hosted engine is deprecated. Support for this installation method will be removed in a later release.Main RHV install page: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cockpit_web_interface/pr01 Deploy and configure the self-hosted engine Run the installation on the deployment host.

View RHV 4.4 self hosted manager install web page https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-virtualization/ 2. Web page suggests to use Cockpit, but should suggest command line installation. 3.

Hi Jason, Thank you for pointing this out - - our writing team does not have editing access to the Product page https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-virtualization/#getstarted so, we need to make a formal request to have those links changed, and it may take a few weeks to get it done. - in the main body of the documentation, I will update and remove the relevant references. - on the RHV documentation splash page, we will remove the link to the Cockpit SHE installation method (In reply to Jason Woods from comment #0) > Description of problem: > RHV 4.4 Documentation issue > In the RHV 4.4 hosted engine installation documentation, it calls out that > Cockpit HE install is deprecated, yet the main Install RHV 4.4 page calls > out to use Cockpit to install it.

new PR: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/pull/2626 need to check for broken links in the Upgrade Guide and Installation SHE using command line guide
Removed link to SHE Cockpit Install document in the upstream oVirt documentation site https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/pull/2628
all content and links to Cockpit SHE installation in the main documentation have been removed. Links in the product page https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-virtualization/#getstarted need to be changed by someone who has admin access to those pages.
@emarcus the RHV Product Page (https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-virtualization/#getstarted) was updated. A few references to cockpit remain in the documentation. Would you please investigate the following: Are these references are still valid? Registering RHVS with Red Hat Satellite 6 instructs users to log in to the Cockpit web interface. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_command_line/index#Enabling_the_RHVH_repository_SHE_deployment_host 4.1 Installing RHV Hosts.

all done - everything is in place and looks good
