Hello!
This is my first time posting in this forum. Forgive me if I missed something in the documention, videos, and other posts in the forums.
I have a RHEL distro that I would like to install on eve. I have done all the commands and procedures, but cannot get the image to load as a node opition in the labs. Any suggestions?
Here is the process I followed:
Redhat Linux - rhel-8.3-beta
1)Create new image directory
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
2)Use WinSCP to copy distro ISO image to new directory
path: /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
3)From CLI change to new directory
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
4)Rename the dirstro to cdrom.iso
mv rhel-8.3-beta.iso cdrom.iso
5)From CLI change to new directory
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
6)Create new HDD virtioa.qcow2. Example below is HDD 30Gb. Size you can change per your needs
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 virtioa.qcow2 30G
7)Create new lab and add newly created rhel-8.3-beta node
8)Connect it to your home LAN cloud/internet, this need to get updates from internet
9)Start node in lab and do install of your Linux, customize it as you like, as you have connected
it to home LAN and internet this install will be like normal Linux installation.
10)Remove cdrom.iso from /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
rm -f cdrom.iso
11) Fix permissions
/opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
Thank you for the help!

Re: RedHat Linux (RHEL) install
Here is your mistake
1) From CLI create new directory
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/rhel-8.3-beta/
Image folder must have name:
mkdir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/linux-rhel-8.3.beta
and you will see your image under linux nodes
