Why does KVM virtual machine need continued access to OS install media?

I just started to play with virtualisation, and have successfully installed Ubuntu on a virtual machine, from YAST, using an iso image as the install medium.

After starting and stopping the guest a couple of times all seemed OK, so I deleted the installation iso file.
However when I next attempted to start the Ubuntu VM it complained: "Error starting domain: cannot open file '/home/john/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso'. No such file or directory."
Restored the iso file and everything works fine.

Does the VM really need continued access to the install media (why would it??), or have I made some error during installation?

TIA, John
