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.

Description Meina Li 2022-02-24 03:57:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
missing 'nvram-template' when start ovmf guest

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-8.0.0-4.el9.x86_64
qemu-kvm-6.2.0-9.el9.x86_64
edk2-ovmf-20220126gitbb1bba3d77-3.el9.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a ovmf guest.
# virsh edit ovmf
...
  <os firmware='efi'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-rhel9.0.0'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>
...
2. Start the ovmf guest.
# virsh start lmn
setlocale: No such file or directory
error: Failed to start domain 'lmn'
error: internal error: missing 'nvram-template' in '/usr/share/qemu/firmware/50-edk2-ovmf-amdsev.json'

Actual results:
As step 2.

Expected results:
Can start successfully.


Additional info:
Before we have /usr/share/qemu/firmware/50-edk2-ovmf-cc.json for sev feature. Why we had another 50-edk2-ovmf-amdsev.json?
Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2022-02-24 13:12:09 UTC 
The following patch (which is merged upstream) will avoid the immediate error https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-February/msg00670.html


Actual support for SEV measurement,w hich will use the new EDK firmware build, is tracked in bug 2058004
Comment 5 Xuesong Zhang 2022-02-25 05:30:51 UTC 
Hi, Jarda,

From QE's POV, we suggest to fix this regression and testblocker in 9.0.0, please have a look and set the ITR, thanks.
Comment 6 Meina Li 2022-02-25 07:13:31 UTC 
Can start the ovmf guest successfully in libvirt-8.1.0-1.fc35.x86_64 with the fixed patch in comment 2.

Hello guys, probably obvious note but this also affects "virt-resize" and similar commands, therefore until this is resolved the nightly perf-ci is blocked by this.

The impact is on any app that attempts to use guests that are configured with UEFI firmware, so pretty much any & all virt apps.

Comment 20 Martin Pitt 2022-03-02 09:09:49 UTC 
This also broke cockpit-machines, most tests now fail on CentOS 9 stream and RHEL 9: https://artifacts.dev.testing-farm.io/a880a31c-cf3b-40b3-b97c-460972cf6178/

Is there any known workaround?
Comment 21 Martin Pitt 2022-03-02 09:15:09 UTC 
> Is there any known workaround?

It's enough to do: rm /usr/share/qemu/firmware/50-edk2-ovmf-amdsev.json

If you don't want to touch files owned by RPM an alternative is

  touch /etc/qemu/firmware/50-edk2-ovmf-amdsev.json

which will hide the RPM installed file

Comment 29 Martin Pitt 2022-03-18 08:42:33 UTC 
Any idea why this is still not fixed in CentOS 9 stream? http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ still has 8.0.0-5. Should't RHEL 9 fixes go via c9s?
Comment 30 Jiri Denemark 2022-03-18 10:16:06 UTC 
Because CentOS 9 Stream already tracks RHEL 9.1 rather than RHEL 9.0 and there
was no libvirt-8.0.0-6.el9 build in 9.1. Libvirt was rebased to 8.1.0 there
instead, i.e., 9.1 should include libvirt-8.1.0-1.el9 with the fix included,
but unfortunately the build did not finish gating yet.

The gating of libvirt-8.1 is failed by BZ 2064115. Even you get the libvirt-8.1 build, the issue in this BZ is fixed, but you will met another issue in BZ 2064115.
