You'll need to transfer the vm configuration as well.

(on source host) virsh dumpxml vmname > vmname.xml
copy vmname.xml from src to dest
(on dest host) virsh define vmname.xml

If the .img is at the same path on the new host, and you
have a similar network setup, machine arch, distro etc,
it should just work.

Thanks,
