UEFI
17.0.0 (Queens)
Nova supports configuring a UEFI
bootloader for guests. This brings about important advantages over
legacy BIOS bootloaders and allows for features such as secure-boot.
Enabling UEFI
Currently the configuration of UEFI guest bootloaders is only
supported when using the libvirt compute driver with a :oslo.configlibvirt.virt_type of
kvm or qemu. When using the libvirt compute
driver with AArch64-based guests, UEFI is automatically enabled as
AArch64 does not support BIOS.
Update this once compute drivers start reporting a trait indicating UEFI bootloader support.
Configuring a flavor or image
Configuring a UEFI bootloader varies depending on the compute driver in use.
Libvirt
UEFI support is enabled by default on AArch64-based guests. For other
guest architectures, you can request UEFI support with libvirt by
setting the hw_firmware_type image property to
uefi. For example:
$ openstack image set --property hw_firmware_type=uefi $IMAGE
