In private cloud, to create VM templates from a remote repository, do these steps:

Privilege: Download template from remote repository

  1. Go to Catalogue

  2. In the Private cloud section, select the datacenter

  3. On the Virtual machine templates tab, at the bottom of the templates panel, click the + add button

  4. Select Create from remote template repository

  5. Select a Repository, then select a Category or All categories. 
    The Packages pane will display the available template definitions with an icon, title and brief description

  6. Optionally, click on Show disks

  7. For each VM template to download, select the checkbox next to the template definition

  8. To start the download, click the Download button

    1. The platform will check that this template download will not exceed the repository limits for your enterprise or your enterprise in the datacenter.

    2. A status bar will appear next to the selected packages showing the download state.

If a template belongs to a Category in the remote template repository but the Category does not exist in the Catalogue, the platform will create it for the download.

You can now work with the new VM template.
