You can import ISO files to provide installation media for creating Virtual Machines. We briefly covered how to import the ISO files in Chapter 5. Let's now look at how to import ISO files in more depth.
Anyone can import an ISO file, but the administrator approves the imported ISO file. All ISO files belonging to the same image must reside in the ISO pool. ISO files reside in the same ISO group. All users in the same server pool can share the ISO files.
We have placed the ISO files in the following directory:
/OVS/iso_pool/install_images
The files are visible to the VM Manager portal, as we had imported several of the ISO images in the previous chapter.

Similarly, you can either download the ISO files from an external cloud or you can select it from a Server Pool.
