Try passing --no-reboot to virt-install.
host : % virsh shutdown test02
(nothing happens, guest still shown)
If the guest OS is fully booted up at this point, you should be able
to initiate a clean shutdown from the host.
If that doesn't work, make sure your VM configuration contains
<domain>
...
<features>
<acpi/>
</features>
...
<on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
...
</domain>
and that there is some software running in the guest that will
process the ACPI event appropriately. systemd will usually take care
of that part.
