Not what I meant at all. I'm not talking about OS ISO URL download Image you create the instance from.
I talking about xenserver iso tools for optimizing Virtualization on the OS after it becomes a running VM, and before you make it a template. This needs to be mounted and installed from the DVD in the console of the newly created VM. This optimizes the VM to run under Xenserver. As I understand it, OS's typically need their drivers updated to Optimize them for virtualization, since they are not running on bare metal. Xencenter will highlight each VM created flagging it is not optimized for virtualization, and give you a hotlink that takes you directly to console with the DVD with the iso tools selected to apply them. This is all per the Xenserver Administration course offered by Citrix.....

Attach it to the VM and and then load it via the OS. All of that can be done via CloudStack rather than going through Xen.
