 RHCS is the Red Hat Ceph Storage product from Red Hat, the enterprise version of Ceph.
 If ``ceph_repository`` is set to ``rhcs``, packages you will be installed from Red Hat sources.
 
-Additionally you will have to select a repository type through ``ceph_repository_type``, it can be ``cdn`` or ``iso``.
 To choose a specific version of RHCS you can set the ``ceph_rhcs_version`` variable accordingly, e.g: ``ceph_rhcs_version: 2``.
