Hello Nitesh,

     Thanks for your help.

     Your answer can work.
     What I did:
         1.     added EDITOR=vim to /etc/environment
         2.    source /etc/environment
         3.    restart the session


     In Ubuntu/Debian,also could run select-editor to change the editor 
of virsh edit.

     Thanks,
     dw
