Within your oVirt Server machine's Cobbler instance, you can import an
ISO file and have it available for VMs. 

1. Copy the ISO file into an NSF-exported directory on the server.
2. On the server, import that ISO using the following cobbler command:

cobbler image add --name="Farkle" --file=nfs://hostname/path/to/image

3. In the oVirt server suite, there should be a new OS option available
that has the same name as was entered in #2 above.
