Can anyone tell me how to change the default directory which stores

No, you don't want to share libvirt's internal xml files among multiple
hosts. Otherwise, two hosts will stomp on each other's edits, and
likely corrupt your guest.
Rather, you want to store 'virsh dumpxml' output in a shared directory,
and then 'virsh define' that shared definition into all hosts where you
care about sharing common XML information.
