To attach an ISO file to a guest while the guest is online use virsh with the attach-disk parameter.
# virsh attach-disk [domain-id] [source] [target] --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly
The source and target parameters are paths for the files and devices, on the host and guest respectively. The source parameter can be a path to an ISO file or the device from the /dev directory.
