[edk2-devel] Help needed in building UEFI qcow2 images

Hi Pavan,

I am currently playing around with setting up a OVMF based test framework myself. You likely need to tell qemu to use OVMF as it's firmware. I attach my current working libvirt XML file for creating UEFI VMs (diskless) - note the <loader> and the <nvram> elements within the <os> element.

You want to add a disk sourced from the qcow image and that should work.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi,



[re-posting the question]



I am looking for information/documentation which helps me in enabling UEFI boot to the existing (KVM)VM template. I am trying for CentOS 6.5(64-bit) no GUI 64-bit (KVM) template.





I found some images available over https://www.kraxel.org/repos/images/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.kraxel.org_repos_images_&d=DwMFAw&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=SzAVyxtJHZm7PriTfxFyvkqqZ_OgUqnNtgjrlf7jVU4&m=txzCgRJWkEmPJeuUxTWCEaTYpYEUWr6BmgcbVIpvuI0&s=VNfaavLgc8f7brJsIT2rTlp9QzZRyNUOTsp7rqTHK6E&e=> with fedora os, but I am looking for uefi enabled Cent OS template. It would be helpfull if any documentation or steps provided for the same.




Regards,

Pavan.
