Here is the output from `virsh dumpxml XX`. As we can see uefi is properly setup. But it seems a device is required.

I also set hw_machine_type=q35 and hw_machine_type=pc. Neither works.
Converting a volume to an image takes too much space and time because it's so large.
Any alternative?

Hi, list,

I migrated a volume from VMware ESXI VMDK, and originally on VMware platform it's EFI boot mode and secure boot enabled.

I cloned the entire VMDK by clonzilla and restored on OpenStack as a volume.

I referred to this link https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/secure-boot.html and uploaded that volume as an image. Then set properties.

Finally, I launched an instance with a target image, however, it cannot boot up with a blank and dark screen.

What's the right way to implement this?

Thanks.
