+ Offline migration transfers inactive the definition of a domain
+ (which may or may not be active). After successful completion, the
+ domain remains in its current state on the source host and is defined
+ but inactive on the destination host. It's a bit more clever than
+ virsh dumpxml
on source host followed by
+ virsh define
on destination host, as offline migration
+ will run the pre-migration hook to update the domain XML on
+ destination host. Currently, copying non-shared storage is not
+ supported during offline migration.
