Why is the virtual machine not fully started？Looking forward to your reply，thanks

2

Could be that your VM isn’t compatible with UEFI?
You’re being dropped into the UEFI shell which is usually what happens when no bootloader is found.

3

Thank you for your reply，Do I need to disable uefi? Does lxd have such a switch or do I need to do it through the bios.

4

bootstrap：
UEFI QEMU QEMU HARDDISK
EFI Internal Shell
Is this a normal hard disk boot？

5

LXD only supports UEFI, if your old VM only works on old style BIOS, then it will not work.

6

Yes, the previous vm was booted by bios, but after I changed it to uefi, I still could not enter the system when I tried to enter console. This time, shell was not displayed

It’s stuck here the whole time

7

May I ask whether EFI supports it？

You can convert a vSphere/ESXi VM to UEFI+GPT before converting it for use with KVM/QEMU. There are quite a few tutorials for Windows and Linux out there, with no relation to LXD. Then in vSphere/ESXi you can switch to UEFI and test before trying to convert to KVM/QEMU. Naturally use a cloned VM first taking snapshots along the way so you can fall back a step or two, and then test out the migration procedure.

I have tested this out in case there were vSphere VMs that were going to be a pain to migrate the services and data. In the end I’ve not used the procedure, so I cannot recommend any particular methods.

If you cannot mess with the existing primary disk in terms of partitions and GPT, you can shuffle UEFI and Recovery Partitions onto a small additional virtual disk, and boot from that rather.

Thank you for your answer, but I did not understand your meaning，I’ve been put to uefi and then migrated and got stuck
