Convert the VM to a Template

The template allows you to create any number of customized virtual machines.

Follow these steps:

1. Shut down the VM.
2. To convert the shutdown virtual machine to an RHEV template, use the RHEV Administration portal.

The template appears in CA Virtual Assurance and can be used for customized provisioning.

Once these steps have been performed, the new template can be used to create any number of new customized virtual machines.
