1. To install OVMF on OL7 KVM host, e.g., OVMF-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch.

# rpm -ql OVMF-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch
/usr/share/OVMF
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.pure-efi-debug.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.pure-efi.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot-debug.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.pure-efi-debug.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.pure-efi.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.secboot-debug.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd
/usr/share/OVMF/UefiShell.iso

2. Copy /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd to local folder for per-VM use.


3. Run below QEMU command line to create boot image and install OL7 on UEFI-based VM.

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 ol7-uefi.qcow2 20G

# ./qemu-5.1.0/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -m 3000M -vnc :7 \
  -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5027-:22 \
  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,num_queues=4 \
  -device scsi-hd,drive=drive1,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0 \
  -drive file=ol7-uefi.qcow2,if=none,id=drive1 \
  -drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.pure-efi.fd,index=0,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly \
  -drive file=OVMF_VARS.fd,index=1,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly \
  -serial stdio \
  -cdrom /home/zhang/img/iso/OracleLinux-R7-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso -boot d


4. Once installation is finished, run VM with below QEMU command line.

# ./qemu-5.1.0/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 4 -m 3000M -vnc :7 \
  -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5027-:22 \
  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0,num_queues=4 \
  -device scsi-hd,drive=drive1,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0 \
  -drive file=ol7-uefi.qcow2,if=none,id=drive1 \
  -drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.pure-efi.fd,index=0,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly \
  -drive file=OVMF_VARS.fd,index=1,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly \
  -serial stdio \
