(e.g  virsh shutdown "vmname" ). On issuing these commands there is no impact on the VM. Also unable to perform the shutdown or reboot operations from the menu options available on the console when accessing the VM via the virt-manager.

'virsh shutdown' (and the virt-manager counterpart) requires guest
cooperation.  Not all guests are configured to react to ACPI events out
of the box; sometimes installing acpid in the guest is sufficient.  You
may also want to consider using qemu-ga in your guest, as guest agent
shutdown is more reliable than ACPI shutdown (but again, requires guest
cooperation).  There's nothing libvirt can do about a guest that refuses
to cooperate - you'll have to solve this in your guest.
