[libvirt-users] Trouble moving OVMF guest to new host

[Žilvinas Žaltiena]

Hello,

I suppose OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd is likely your firmware (CODE in name). 
There should also be firmware's variable template file (used for the 1st 
startup, usually there is VARS in file name) and firmware variable file, 
where firmware's actual settings are stored.

Those 3 files can be designated in domain's XML or qemu.conf, so try 
looking there for paths. On my system, it is /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/
