Description of problem: Currently storage is under Chapter 3 : RHUI Installer , This needs to be removed from this section and moved to Chapter 2 : Installation Requirements This Installation Requirements section needs detailed information regarding the storage part. I think this would help to plan the storage part for the RHUI set-up, as for huge data a separate volume is preferred. And mentioning the dir structure in the doc is needed. ======================================================= Storage Ensure that you have allocated enough storage space for the RPM packages required by Red Hat Update Infrastructure. For PULP- Server: All the packages pulled in from the cdn or various sources are placed under /var/lib/pulp For ALL PULP-CDS nodes: All the associated repos will get synced with their respective CDS nodes from PULP-SERVER under /var/lib/pulp-cds ======================================================== Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Documentation Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

After the changes to the CDS section (CDS Groups in particular), re-phrasing this section is necessary. ===================================== Storage Requirements Ensure that you have allocated enough storage space for the RPM packages required by Red Hat Update Infrastructure. Pulp Server : All repositories are placed under /var/lib/pulp Pulp CDS : All the repositories are synchronized with all the content distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds. =========================================
<para> Ensure that you have allocated enough storage space for the RPM packages required by &RHUI;. </para> <para> All server packages are placed under <filename>/var/lib/pulp</filename> </para> <para> All associated repositories are synchronized with their respective content distribution server (CDS) nodes under <filename>/var/lib/pulp-cds</filename>. </para> Revision 1-17.

I see no change with revision 1-17, Please change it from All server packages are placed under /var/lib/pulp to On RHUA node : All repositories are placed under /var/lib/pulp and from All associated repositories are synchronized with their respective content distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds to On CDS nodes: All the repositories are synchronized with the content distribution server (CDS) nodes under /var/lib/pulp-cds I feel the current existing sentences may confuse people new to RHUI, as earlier we had options to associate repos to CDS, no longer we have this option. Hence the change is necessary. Also instead of calling 'server packages' lets call them 'repositories'. I used the wrong word initially when raised this bug. Let's correct this now.
<para> All repositories are placed under <filename>/var/lib/pulp</filename>. Create this file directly only if you need to create a new mount point for it, otherwise, it will be created automatically during the installation process. </para> <para> All repositories are synchronized with content distribution server (CDS) nodes under <filename>/var/lib/pulp-cds</filename>. </para> Revision 1-21 LKB
Updated under storage Requirements.
