I think the same, take a look a this wiki: [0] https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path > This Debian 9 clones fine: > > Model: IBM ServeRAID M5014 (scsi) > Disk /dev/sda: 998GB > Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B > Partition Table: gpt > Disk Flags: > > Number Start End Size File system Name Flags > 1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB bios_grub > 2 2097kB 271MB 268MB fat32 boot, esp > 3 271MB 998GB 998GB lvm > > > And this one gives the error: > > Model: DELL PERC H730P Mini (scsi) > Disk /dev/sda: 4197GB > Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B > Partition Table: gpt > Disk Flags: > > Number Start End Size File system Name Flags > 1 1049kB 511MB 510MB fat16 uefi boot, esp > 2 511MB 767MB 256MB ext3 boot > 3 767MB 4197GB 4196GB lvm lvm After reading part of the wiki [0] I suggest You: to compare if the uefi files are in the correct places on both system. > All my existing VMs across all ESXi hosts are configured with BIOS boot. I think you need a time to shutdown your server and clone it with dd and a livecd and then add a VM with this raw image and work with the booting stuffs: maybe reinstall the uefi things or change it to BIOS boot. p.s.: Please don't top posting. -- Guillermo Galeano Fernández http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
