Is now:

"Following successful installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server, ensure that there is network connectivity between your new Red Hat Enterprise Linux host and the system on which your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is installed."

> -> The note regarding the useradd is phrased in a complex manner -

Is now:

"If you intend to use directory services for authentication on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux host itself then you must ensure that the authentication files required by the <command>useradd</command> command are locally accessible. The <package>vdsm</package> package, which provides software that is required for successful connection to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, will not install correctly if these files are not locally accessible."

I have left the location as is, this is the appropriate location as it relates to a decision made when installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server. I do think the wording is still somewhat cumbersome, but I'm open to suggestions given the nature of the problem we're trying to describe.

Topic 10236, revision 223636.

Comment 3 Stephen Gordon 2012-08-29 14:17:59 UTC
Step 2 should have a heading, for consistency (or the heading on step 1 should be removed).
