EFI VM Boot Devices reappearing
- Thread starter thoand
- Start date
I know that I have to configure the order under Options, but there is an option missing to remove IPv6 and HTTP from the network boot, is there a way? EFI Shell is not mentioned either, but what is disturbing, is the cycle through all net boot options. 
I understand. This cannot be done through the VM options directly and instead needs to be configured in the EFI settings.
- To prevent the boot order from getting overwritten go to Options -> Boot Order and disable all boot devices. The Boot Order should then display "(No boot devices selected)"
- Start the VM and enter the EFI settings.
- Navigate to Boot Maintenance Manager -> Boot Options -> Change Boot Order.
- Move the PXEv4 option to the top and move all the other network boot options to the bottom.
- Save and exit
of course:

This line should then look like this:
boot: and in the Web UI (No boot device selected) should be next to Boot Order.Only then the boot options configured in the EFI settings will not be overwritten.
