### problem
Unable to boot a vm in uefi mode on a kvm arm64 host
### versions
ACS 4.22
KVM Ubuntu 24.0.4
### The steps to reproduce the bug
1. On the kvm host make sure the efi packages (apt install swtpm qemu-efi-aarch64)
2. Create a uefi properties file
```
root@raspberrypi5-cloudstack:~# cat /etc/cloudstack/agent/uefi.properties
# CloudStack Agent UEFI Configuration for ARM64
# This file configures UEFI boot support for ARM64 virtual machines
# Secure boot mode with Microsoft keys
guest.nvram.template.secure=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.ms.fd
guest.loader.secure=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.ms.fd
# Secure boot mode without Microsoft keys
guest.nvram.template.secboot=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd
guest.loader.secboot=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.secboot.fd
# Standard UEFI mode (default)
guest.nvram.template.legacy=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd
guest.loader.legacy=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd
# No secure boot mode (explicitly disabled)
guest.nvram.template.nosecboot=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd
guest.loader.nosecboot=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.no-secboot.fd
# NVRAM storage path
guest.nvram.path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/
```
3. Restart the services
service libvirtd restart
service cloudstack-agent restart
4. Launch a vm select the boot mode as UEFI and secure
5. Exception observed
```

```
Workaround
Boot into BIOS and LEGACY
VM boots , verify
On the kvm host dumpxml of the vm
```
hvm
/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd
/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/i-2-131-VM_VARS.fd
```
login to the vm and verify
ls /sys/firmware/efi
[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "UEFI boot" || echo "Legacy BIOS"
### What to do about it?
Cloudstack should BOOT mode UEFI and secure on kvm arm64 hosts
貢獻指南
研究方向
從 /etc/cloudstack/agent/uefi.properties 中的 UEFI 設定以及回報「No PCI buses available.」的 agent.log 項目開始。將由 dumpxml 產生的 VM XML(包括其 loader 和 NVRAM 項目)與失敗的 UEFI 案例和正常運作的 legacy 案例進行比較。當 VM 能在 ARM64 KVM 主機上以 UEFI 和 secure mode 啟動,且 /sys/firmware/efi 存在時,即表示完成。
