Unfortunately, block migration during migration is an all-or-none

differently, short of creating a snapshot file where the snapshot delta
is on shared storage, and then you manually copy the backing file into
place on the destination, then migrate without copying storage; but
there is no way to coalesce things back into one file once you take the
snapshot.
Qemu 1.2 will be adding some new features that allow for block storage
migration as well as live commits (coalescing a delta snapshot file back
into its backing file) which can then be exposed through libvirt to
provide more functionality into what you want to do.
A storage pool lets you inform libvirt where your shared storage lives,

but does not help with the aspect of whether live storage migration is
possible in the underlying qemu.
