After importing VM images leveraging UEFI disks as boot devices, sometimes the VM will not boot properly inside the VergeIO platform. To resolve this, tweaks to boot order/options need to be made.
Here is a list of suggested solutions for issues with imported VMs not booting because of guest UEFI bios settings:
- From a fresh import of the VM (before trying to power it up inside VergeIO), edit the VM in Verge and enable the UEFI boot option.
- Power on the VM
- Hit ESC within 5 seconds to get into the VM BIOS (you can edit the VM settings in Verge to increase the boot timer if necessary)
- Enter the BIOS and navigate to Boot Manager options (varies by bios)
- Change the selected boot device to the Verge IO device
- Exit the UEFI BIOS
- Reboot the VM
- From a fresh import of the VM (before trying to power it up inside VergeIO), edit the VM in Verge and enable the UEFI boot option.
- Power on the VM
- Hit ESC within 5 seconds to get into the VM BIOS (you can edit the VM settings in Verge to increase the boot timer if necessary)
- Enter the BIOS and navigate to Boot Manager options (varies by bios)
- Disable secure boot as an option
- Exit the UEFI BIOS
- Reboot the VM
