You need to upload the ISO first in to CloudStack either as the root user or an account / domain user. Go to templates, change select view to ISO, then click on the register ISO from the top right. Either make sure you have changed the ISO to be featured or public is logged in the admin user, or you are using the same user that is uploading the ISO that will be creating the VM. Fill out the ISO properties, setting the OS type to the OS your bootable ISO image is using. This isn't actually the OS you are going to install as such but the preboot image you are booting in to before installing the OS image. Generally other Linux 64 bit.
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.1-incubating/html/Admin_Guide/working-with-iso.html As long as you CloudStack environment is working correctly, the ISO image should upload and once complete be visible to select when installing a VM. Let us know how you get on.
