This is indeed a valid use case; it looks like portions of the doc are 
outdated :-/.
While it gets fixed, you can refer to the RHS admin guide 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3/pdf/Administration_Guide/Red_Hat_Storage-3-Administration_Guide-en-US.pdf 
section 8.4 (and other sections in general for  more up to date 
information).
