+<1> The `rhel9` golden image is used to install {op-system-base} 9 as the guest operating system.
+<2> Golden images are stored in the `openshift-virtualization-os-images` namespace.
+<3> The `u1.medium` instance type requests 1 vCPU and 4Gi memory for the VM. These resource values cannot be overridden within the VM.
+<4> The `rhel.9` preference specifies additional attributes that support the {op-system-base} 9 guest operating system.

+The `spec.dataVolumeTemplates.spec.sourceRef.name` value in the `VirtualMachine` manifest must match the value of `spec.dataImportCronTemplates.spec.managedDataSource` in the `HyperConverged` CR.
