You can not install using the iso as such for a pv system. You will need 
to install it through HTTP / NFS / FTP / ... ( I am normally using http, 
& I am unsure if NFS is now supported ).

Install httpd server
yum -y install httpd

create a directory to mount your iso
mkdir /var/www/html/pub
mount -o loop /path-to-your-iso-image /var/www/html/pub

turn off SELinux & Firewall
setenforce 0
iptables -F
service httpd start

You should now be ready to install your Vm from

http://<ip of dom0>/pub

Hope this help.

NB ; do not use localhost for the IP of dom0
