      Description of problem:

      The OCP4.13, 4.14, 4.15 Installation guide[1][2][3] says as follows:
      
      > Using OpenShift Container Platform with vMotion
      >
      > If you intend on using vMotion in your vSphere environment, consider the following before installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
      > 
      > + OpenShift Container Platform generally supports compute-only vMotion, where generally implies that you meet all VMware best practices for vMotion.
      
        The term "compute-only vMotion" is mentioned here, but it is unclear what exactly it refers to.
        Please modify the document so that it is not misleading. Specific wording and modification methods are left to the engineer.
      
       Note:
      
        We are aware that VMware's official documentation does not have the name "compute-only vMotion".
      
        1. Is this a counter explanation to VMware's Storage vMotion?
           If Yes, we assume it means VMware compute vMotion, not VMware Storage vMotion.
           But, we are aware that VMware's official documentation does not have the name "compute-only vMotion".
      
        2. Does "compute-only" mean Openshift's compute node?
           If yes, it means that Red Hat only supports using the VMware vMotion for Openshift compute(worker) nodes, not supported it for the OpenShift control plane nodes.
