'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.
