This article shares an example analysis of how to copy XXX-falt.vmdk files on esxi to KVM to create virtual machines and EFI+GPT boot problems. Xiaobian thinks it is quite practical, so share it with everyone for reference. Let's follow Xiaobian and have a look.

Because the copied virtual machine disk file was originally a GPT partition,

By default KVM is BIOS+MBR boot mode, EFI+MBR mode is not supported

In fact, for virtual machines, whether BIOS or EFI is an executable program to simulate the motherboard BIOS, this executable program in ubutun14.04 is placed in; /usr/share/qemu

Now in order to support EFI+MBR need to install apt-get install ovmf

Here is the official website http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/OVMF

Then find the path to ovmf ubutun14.04 Default /usr/share/ovmf

Finally, modify the virtual machine's configuration file, for example

add labels

/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.FD
