It looks like it could be easily supported by setting the hw_firmware_type=uefi property for UEFI images; OTOH it seems the UEFI guests in OpenStack are not well tested yet (at least from our side) -- bug 1419191.

Comment 4 Pino Toscano 2017-04-28 09:04:05 UTC

This has been enabled upstream with
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/7409c9d9d36dc59f3b44824b8fd3b710225531ab
which is in libguestfs >= 1.37.13.

However, this needs more testing, especially on the OpenStack side, since UEFI guests are still considered experimental.

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-08-02 09:58:35 UTC

For general information about work on integrating openstack, see:

Comment 10 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-04-25 09:41:07 UTC

This is likely fixed in RHEL 7, but requires someone on the OSP team to test it.

Comment 11 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-05-13 11:42:25 UTC

I'm closing this because it's most likely fixed in RHEL 7, but we're not
planning any further development on virt-v2v once 7.7 is out.  If the
problem still happens in RHEL 8 please open a new bug about it (probably
against RHOSP).
