AFAIU, this flag comes into play when you do a *shutdown* of the guest. The guest will be shutdown, the virtual machine stops but Qemu will not exit. > Is this however a bug that the status is not updated correctly?

As long as Qemu is emulating some hardware, it is in the "running" state. If you do a shutdown inside the guest, the domain should be regarded as shut down in libvirt too. -- Claudio _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
