I ran yum update on my three host and the engine VM so I believe an up to date on all the packages. How can I check if I am on version 4.1.2? 

You can find the engine's version in the 'About' dialog (at the top-right corner of the screen of the webadmin). If you don't use the 'ovirt-4.1-snapshot' repository then it makes sense that you didn't get this update yet.

I restarted the httpd and ovirt-engine service after the updates, but still don't the seal option.

Thanks,

Arik,

Very cool. It's exactly what I was looking for. 

However, I don't see that checkbox. I've attached an image of what the template window looks like on my end. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

No , you're looking at the right place. This feature got in pretty late in the release cycle of 4.1, so it is available from 4.1.2. Maybe the version you are using is lower than that?

 

Thanks for the response,

Hello Joel,

as far as i know, virt-sysprep has to be executed inside the VM before
cloning it to template. This removes some infos from the VM like udev
rules & ssh keys.

So this has changed in 4.1. You can now choose to seal a template during its creation. This will take a VM, that may have not been sealed, create a template out of it and then invoke virt-sysprep on the template's disks.

Joel, in the 'make template' dialog you'll see a checkbox (at the bottom) for 'Seal Template' that will do the trick. There is also a 'seal' parameter in the REST-API, of course [1].
