I'm having the same problem. It seems like OVMF doesn't support multiple VMs at the moment because of it's boot file. (ovmf-pure-efi.FD) Each VM needs it's own as far as I understand. Some people have gotten it working by creating copies and manually pointing the XML at them.. version 6.2 is going to have default support for it apparently https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41769.msg434932#msg434932 so I'm just waiting for 6.2 to come out since I couldn't get it working by copying the files and editing the xml. If you're just using VNC why not use seabios? it doesn't have the same problem.

So I'm trying to install Windows onto VMs. The setup works fine every time. I am passing through a GPU, assigning a vdisk, etc.. after booting and installing Windows Server 2012 R2 and getting all of the drivers installed and network config, everything seems to work fine. I restart the system several times and everything is fine. Then I setup a second VM using similar settings (different disk, different gpu - they are the same model but they are correctly identifying the different slots, etc.) Everything works properly, same as the first.. However, when restarting the VMs after installing 2 or more VMs it always acts as if the Server installation didn't even work. It goes through the "Press any key to boot from USB..." screen and then goes to the UEFI Shell. None of the VMs will boot. If I go into the Press any key to Boot from USB I can see the Windows Partitions in the installation media, etc.. The storage being used shows up in my Unraid shares... can anyone think of a reason why it won't boot back into Windows after setting up more than one VM?
