Vivek,
You need to provide more information if you expect folk to be able to
help you. We can't guess what you've already done, you have to actually
tell us. In detail.
A (not very) subtle clue:

Also, please compose a new email to the mailing list rather than just
answering an existing one, if you are asking a new question. Otherwise
your messages just get lost in the thread.
Oh and please try to send emails that aren't all on one line. :)
Right, now onto your question:
* What exactly have you already done to try and solve your problem?
* How did you import/add the RHEL distribution?
- just copy it into place? Were any cobbler commands involved at all?
* Can you manually access the images link that your installing VM is
trying to find (try using a web browser)?
* What has this question got to do with cobbler?
It sounds like you are not trying to use cobbler at all. You may have
installed it, but have you actually configured any distributions,
kickstarts and profiles?
You can't just copy stuff anywhere on your cobbler server and expect it
to work. There is a defined workflow here (these are very simple
examples, not full commands)
1. cobbler import (creates distros & profiles)
2. edit kickstarts
or
1. unpack the DVD
2. cobbler distro add
3. cobbler profile add
and possibly
4. cobbler repo add
5. edit kickstart profiles
If you have not followed the documened workflow...
* How do you expect cobbler to find the files you placed under /distros1?
* have you configured your webserver to serve them outside of cobbler?
- if so, how?
* have you imported the content you placed there into cobbler?
* if not, why not?
Did you read or follow the setup guide that was posted in response to
your earlier email? here it is again:
http://blog.milford.io/2012/03/getting-a-basic-cobbler-server-going-on-centos/
Have you read any of the cobbler documentation on getting started?
If not, please do:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/User-documentation
Please do some research before asking questions, then tell us what you
have tried.
We can help troubleshoot what is not working, but if you've just decided
to do your own thing rather than following the cobbler documentation and
instructions, you can't expect us to know that, or everything to just work.
