Is it possible to correctly shutdown a openbsd 4.7 or 4.9 with 

virsh shutdown OpenBSD

The openbsd is under kvm/qemu configured from libvirt.

shutdown should send an ACPI signal "Power button pressed", but my openbsd guest does not react to this.

Also, can I configure OpenBSD to really turn off power of virtual machine when doing halt? Now it asks user from console "press any key to reboot" and don't switch power off.

There's neither paravirt driver nor agent (qemu guest agent) in OpenBSD. But see acpibtn(4), it states if a value is set via sysctl it would react to acpi call.

did you try?

# shutdown -hp now

I did that in my openbsd machine, logged through ssh and it works fine. The machine is shutdown and virsh shows that too.

virsh # list --all
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  - CentOS_6             shut off
  - openbsd              shut off

Hope it helps.

You can use "halt -p" to power down the VM after the OS is halted.

I have not been able to get OpenBSD 4.7 or 4.9 to respond to ACPI signals on KVM/QEMU that ships with Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04).
