Issue

What is the function of service "libvirt-guests"?
KVM guests configured for auto starting are saved on host shutdown and resumed while booting the host. How do I change this so that the guest will be shutdown while host is shutdown and guest will be started while host is booting up?
If the VM get destroyed while the host is shut down next time guest will fail to bootup with the following error :

Error restoring domain: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer

Environment
