      Section Number and Name:
      3.1.1. Upgrading a Connected Satellite Server
      3.1.2. Upgrading a Disconnected Satellite Server
      3.3. Upgrading Capsule Servers (updated earlier in BZ 2096950)
      6.1. Updating Satellite Server
      6.2. Updating Disconnected Satellite Server
      6.3. Updating Capsule Server

      Describe the issue:
      There is no need to enable the maintenance repository now as thats being handled by the satellite-maintain.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      Need to remove:

      1. subscription-manager repos --enable \
        satellite-maintenance-6.12-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
        and use below command for connected setup,

      #satellite-maintain self-upgrade

      And for disconnected setup,

      satellite-maintain self-upgrade --maintenance-repo-label <6.12-maintenance-repo-label>

      Additional information:
      Earlier for 6.11, it was updated only for the capsule upgrade step, and other sections were missing in this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2096950 , so mentioned sections need an update for both 6.11 and 6.12 docs

            Hi Eric, documentation still contains explicit steps for module enable "dnf module enable satellite-maintenance:el8" and maintenance repo enable "subscription-manager repos --enable satellite-maintenance-6.14-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms", which could be done as part of "satellite-maintain self-upgrade" command itself for y-stream upgrades, so shouldn't we document it instead?

            Also, we are recommending self-upgrade in Capsule upgrade guide, and its missing in Satellite upgrade guide, which is inconsistent as of now, so I don't think this should be closed as NOTABUG here, I would like to hear your opinion on this,
