    Currently, there is no such built-in functionality in the product. Only boot from Rescue ISO is available:
    https://docs.solus.io/en-US/latest/administration/recovering-inaccessible-servers-with-rescue-mode.16/

    https://features.solus.io/topic/75-use-of-iso-for-boot here is a feature request that you can vote for on Suggest Idea portal

    And use manual tweak of a virtual machine configuration file to attach ISO image as a workaround:

    1. Connect to CR node via SSH
    2. Using VPS UUID that can be found in SolusIO edit configuration:
      virsh edit UUID
    3. Change the boot order and path to ISO:

      ... 
      <os>
      <type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
      <boot dev='cdrom'/> << change this line
      </os>
      ...
      <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source file='path-to-iso'/> << put the path to corresponding iso file
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
      </disk>
    4. Restart VPS:
      virsh reboot UUID
