RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2017-04-26 09:03:20 UTC 
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).
