Hi, I have this scenario: Proxmox VE 6.0-4
There are a couple of VMs running Windows Server OS with OVMF (UEFI). Everything works fine. The thing is that we need to move these VMs to GCP. GCP supports .qcow2, .vmdk and RAW formats. Using the import assistant there's no way to include the EFI disk. Touching Windows configurations we managed to changing EFI disk location to a internal partition of the main VM. We could start it with EFI disk detached after this (on Proxmox, of course) but once imported to GCP the OS wont start.
Any ideas about aproaching this problem?
Thank you
 
the EFI disk doesn't contain the ESP (which is probably what you moved?) but the UEFI variables. you cannot move those to the "main VM". but normally, you can easily recreate them on a different hypervisor by manually adding a new boot entry using its EFI implementation.
