Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Summary:	Shutting Down VM changes its state to "Pause" for 10sec

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.	Story Points:	---

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.
