You could just mount your partition at /var/lib/libvirt/images/ and restore the SELinux context
mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/libvirt/images/
restorecon /var/lib/libvirt/images/
You would want to make the changes persistent across reboots by adding the correct line in /etc/fstab. If you have existing images in the directory, move them before mounting the new disk.
I would suggest the following using virsh:
virsh
pool-destroy default
pool-undefine default
pool-define-as --name default --type dir --target /rum/media/user1/partition1
pool-autostart default
pool-build default
pool-start default
Fire up virt-manager and verify under Edit-> Connection Details-> Storage tab that your default storage pool points to /rum/media/user1/partition1
