Stop a VM using a Shell command not working

Hi,
I’m trying to stop a VM so I can export the Zvol as an external backup.
I’m trying “midclt call vm.stop 43” where the VM ID is 43. The VM will not stop.
I used “midclt call vm.query” to get the ID

I also tried midclt call vm.stop 43 “force”:true but neither make a change to the VM’s state.

Is there a command for “Power Off”. I’ve tried a few verbs and can’t work it out.
Any ideas? Thanks for the advice.

I use

virsh shutdown {VM name}
