When libvirt is starting a domain, it reports the state as SHUTOFF until it's RUNNING. This is not ideal because domain startup may take a long time (usually because of some configuration issues, firewalls blocking access to network disks, etc.) and domain lists provided by libvirt look awkward. One can see weird shutoff domains with IDs in a list of active domains or even shutoff transient domains. In any case, it looks more like a bug in libvirt than a normal state a domain goes through.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
