[libvirt] Safe? /etc/libvirt/qemu on shared storage?

Hello, I have a directory /mnt/shared-storage where the disk files for kvm live. Live migration works well, but I have a problem: after a migration I see two guests, one on the original host "shutoff" and one on the new host "running". I'd like to see the guest only on the host it is running on. Would it be safe/recommended to put the /etc/libvirt/qemu directory on shared storage? What would the best way of doing this be? Is this lock safe? Thanks JB
