A VM in the shutdown state [1] is waiting for the guest to respond to the
acpi signal. After the guest disappears from the hypervisor, OpenNebula
destroys the VM (it's moved to 'done' state). The VM may become stuck in
this state if oned was restarted.

Unfortunately, a VM in this state cannot be recovered. You can only force
its deletion with 'onevm delete'
