= Importing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux image as a boot source
You can import a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) image as a boot source by specifying the URL address for the image.
.Prerequisites
* You must have access to the web server with the operating system image. For example: Red Hat Enterprise Linux web page with images.
.Procedure
. In the {VirtProductName} console, click *Workloads* -> *Virtualization* from the side menu.
. Click the *Templates* tab.
. Identify the RHEL template for which you want to configure a boot source and click *Add source*.
. In the *Add boot source to template* window, select *Import via URL (creates PVC)* from the *Boot source type* list.
. Click *RHEL download page* to access the Red Hat Customer Portal. A list of available installers and images is displayed on the Download Red Hat Enterprise Linux page.
. Identify the Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM guest image that you want to download. Right-click *Download Now*, and copy the URL for the image.
. In the *Add boot source to template* window, paste the copied URL of the guest image into the *Import URL* field, and click *Save and import*.
.Verification
* In the *Templates* tab, verify that the *Boot source* column displays *Available* for the RHEL virtual machine template. You can use this template to create RHEL virtual machines.
