Have another look through these:

https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/index.html
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/kb

Note that some KB articles are only available to people with a paid
account. I think an individual account is ~$50 and your institution
may have an account. There are a ton of things that are covered in
more howto-like fashion in the KB.

Of course, if you're using some tool a hardware vendor, hypervisor
vendor, etc. to do deployments, their advice may supersede and/or
conflict with things you find in the above. Which brings us to....
