[Users] Creating a VM

[Arjit Chaudhary]

I think you would need to use,

        --device-add cdrom {--device <name> | --image <image>}
                [--iface <ide|scsi>] [--subtype <virtio-scsi|hyperv>]
[--passthr] [--position <n>]

So I think to mount the ISO image

prlctl set c7-vm1 --device-add cdrom --image /path/to/iso

If you have to specify "--device device"as well, then I'd suggest checking
the cd-rom device from,
 virsh edit c7-vm1

could be hda or hdc
