Created attachment 794147 [details] logs Description of problem: cannot start VM with iso/vfd attached because of wrong path it seems that engine is looking in '/virtio-win-1.6.4_amd64.vfd' while it should probably go into './virtio-win-1.6.4_amd64.vfd' Error message from GUI VM w7_x64 is down.

The '/virtio-win-1.6.4_amd64.vfd' string should be appended to the 'iso prefix' - the path to the iso domain. so it seems that for some reason the returned iso prefix is empty string. I can't reproduce it on my environment though. it would be best if I can access your environment or alternatively you check the iso prefix on the host that you're trying to run the VM on (by running: vdsClient 0 getStoragePoolInfo `vdsClient 0 getConnectedStoragePoolsList`), if it is still reproducible on your environment.
