Hi Nathan, Sounds not bad. Yes we think it could be a good idea.
It point 2) is where can be found the efi=true? And Second How can we decide which machine will use efi or normal bios? efi=true flag? The settings for the agent sound good. After that it should be possible to use tianocore ovmf https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/OVMF Greetings Sven Von meinem iPhone gesendet __ Sven Vogel Teamlead Platform EWERK RZ GmbH Br?hl 24, D-04109 Leipzig P +49 341 42649 - 11 F +49 341 42649 - 18 s.vo...@ewerk.com www.ewerk.com Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Dr. Erik Wende, Hendrik Schubert, Frank Richter, Gerhard Hoyer Registergericht: Leipzig HRB 17023 Zertifiziert nach: ISO/IEC 27001:2013 DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 DIN ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 EWERK-Blog<https://blog.ewerk.com/> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/ewerk-group> | Xing<https://www.xing.com/company/ewerk> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/EWERK_Group> | Facebook<https://de-de.facebook.com/EWERK.IT/> Ausk?nfte und Angebote per Mail sind freibleibend und unverbindlich.

Constructive criticism would be appreciated. I've added the following properties to be configured in the agent.properties: guest.loader.efi - boolean to switch efi on. This must be true before it will inject any <loader> entries into the domain xml guest.loader.image - this would be the path to the bios/efi image guest.loader.nvram - this optionally points to an nvram image Even when a host is configured so that it can use EFI, it will only actually create a virtual machine when both of the following conditions are met: 1) the host has guest.locader.efi set to true in its agent.properties 2) the vm has the vm details parameter efi=true At present there is no automatic way for the management server to know in advance which hosts have EFI enabled. I suppose this could be approximated using tags. It might be nice to make this more automatic, and have the resource planner aware of the efi toggle on the VM, but I'm not sure how best to implement that or if it's even worth it. Thanks in advance!
