No, that's not right.  The URI parameter is generally not needed when you are
doing a live migrate; it's basically there to specify an "alternate" way to
reach the remote qemu process, but I've haven't come across a case where it is
useful yet.  That is, you *should* set URI to NULL, and let libvirt handle the
details.
