February 5, 201610 yr 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?
February 5, 201610 yr Most likely you have to have a separate ovmf-pure-efi.FD file for each VM. Take a look in the XML file for the VM (left click the VM and choose view/edit XML) for the file and path and then copy it to your flash drive somewhere and rename it for each VM. Then change the path in the XML to reflect the new path and filename. There should be some info about it in the forum, but I'm too lazy to search for it now
