Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.3
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When shutting down, a virtual machine had changed its status from the "Up" state to the "Paused" state before it was shutdown. The "Paused" state represented the state when the guest had been already stopped, but QEMU was flushing its internal buffers and was waiting for libvirt to kill it. But this state change confused users so this update adds respective events and modifies libvirt to use the "shutdown" state. A virtual machine now moves from the "Up" to "Powering Down" and then to "Down" state.

Test with libvirt-0.9.9-0rc1.el6.x86_64, Bug Verified.
Shut down a running guest in RHEVM, the guest's status will transition as
follows:
Up -> Powering Down -> Down.

Sorry, paste the wrong libvirt version, the pass package should be libvirt-0.9.4-23.el6_2.2.
