Live or offline migration is irrelevant to the topic of that page.  The
documentation of this option should be (but is not) present on
http://libvirt.org/sources/virshcmdref/html/sect-migrate.html instead.

Try virsh help migrate.

I doubt SSH tunnels are the best way to configure cluster migration,
credential management won't be easy.  I use qemu:// desturis with TLS
x509 authentication and tcp:// migrateuris for performance on a separate
network.

Try --undefinesource and --persistent.

Btw. I decided to keep all my VMs transient and centrally manage their
configuration in the CIB.  This required creating a new resource agent,
of course, which I can share if you are interested.  It surely lacks
some features of VirtualDomain, but works pretty good for us.
