Please check the following Python script:

 
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/stop_vm.py

It stops the VM and wait until it's in DOWN state.

Then there is a script to start the VM:

 
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/start_vm.py

CLI was deprecated, and is not available anymore, since 4.0 I think.
You can use Ansible modules or Python SDK.
