The source server information. Use the following format to specify this info: [user[:password]@]<server_IP_address_or_hostname>[:port]

The destination server information. If omitted, the migration will be performed locally. Use the following format to specify this info:

[user[:password]@]<server_IP_address_or_hostname>[:port]

--dst <path>

Name and path of the directory on the destination server where the virtual machine files should be stored.

--keep-src

If this option is included, the original virtual machine will be left intact on the source server. If this option is omitted, the original virtual machine will be removed from the source server.
