September 12, 2025Sep 12 I created a VM in Unraid using a custom qcow2 vdisk but the vm is not booting. It is booting in EFI shell.It is an NetScaler VPX VM.Who can help me? Thanks.I downloaded the KVM based image from the vendor's site, they also included an XML file for the qcow2 disk:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><domain type='kvm'> <name>NetScaler-VPX</name>
