You can't do that with hooks. You'll need to edit the domain definition before

Libvirt only reads the standard output of the migrate hook script.

You shouldn't call libvirt functions from your hook script, see
http://libvirt.org/hooks.html#recursive or [1].

No (and it wouldn't let you change the definition anyway).
