Description Marina Kalinin 2014-05-01 21:10:12 UTC

Title: Sealing a Linux Virtual Machine for Deployment as a Template using sys-unconfig

Describe the issue:
Right now there are two options presented to the user to seal the template, but it is not explanied to the user what is the difference and when to use one or another. 

Suggestions for improvement:
Afaik, both are valid, and we should specify this on top, before section 9.3.1.

Also, I think it is good to remove UUID from ifcfg-* files as well, not only HWADDR.

The new topic explains the difference between the two methods and notes that they achieve the same end result.

VERIFIED.
