The migration examples I've found I was able to repeat the steps successfully.  They follow the pattern of what I am calling a "push".  You are logged into the source hypervisor you want to migrate from and run something like "virsh migrate --live <local VM name> qemu://<Destination Hypervisor>/system"

My question is if libvirt support a "pull" migration?  Where the user starts on the destination node and "pulls" a VM to itself from the source node.

Just pass the source host URI to virsh

  virsh -c qemu://<Source Hypervisor>/system migrate --live <source VM name> qemu://<Destination Hypervisor>/system
