# tips
# 1. to relocate default pool
#    ```
#    virsh pool-destroy default
#    virsh pool-edit default   # modify the `update` node
#    virsh pool-start default
#    ```
# 2. create non-preallocated storage image file (slower performance but smaller size for copying)
#    `qemu-img create -o preallocation=off -f qcow2 /path/to/img.qcow2 10G`
# 3. connecting to guest os prerequiste: use system session / guest nic source uses NAT
