Description Megan Lewis 2017-06-19 03:37:12 UTC 
The virt-sysprep feature allows a user to seal a virtual machine from the Manager rather than having to seal it manually or using the CLI. More information is available here: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt-sysprep/

A procedure needs to be added to the Virtual Machine Management Guide for this feature. Changes may also be required in the Administration Guide.

Assigning to Avital for review.
Comment 29 Michal Skrivanek 2017-09-12 11:48:07 UTC 
It is also important to mention that the virt-sysprep tool supports only Linux VMs, not Windows. It used to be clear in original docs where there were specific sections for Linux and Windows, the Windows one need to stay in new doc and the limitation should be clearly mentioned in the text about the new "seal" checkbox
