It shouldn't be deadlocking on the virConnectOpen() call itself, so the way to deal with this is to call virConnectGetHostname() on both conn objects, and if they match, then abort the migration attempt. > Aside from that, anyone have recommendations on the best way to handle the > above situation?

Again I think virConnectGetHostname() is helpful here - if you don't want to prompt the user, then you'll need to canonicalize the local URI by adding in the default hostname associated with it. Of course this relies on the user having configured the local libvirtd to listen on TCP or TLS sockets.
