+# 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
