So transient doesn't store the configs in /etc/libvirt - where are
they stored? and what happens if the guest is shutdown?
If persistent guests only store the config on that node, what is the
normal mode called?

I can't find any documentation on this, can you point me somewhere on
how I can use this and read up on it?

Would you mind elaborating on this? What would the cluster management
software do here?
