qm set efi disk in CLI

[Zombie]

So I have a template file called makevm.sh. Inside I have all my qm set and imports to create VMs. It has worked great for a long time, but now I want to add an efi disk so I can change the type of bios. I have the bios now set with qm set 188 --bios ovmf and it works. Then I am trying to add a efi disk with the following command:

qm set VMID --efidisk0: storage:vm-188-disk-2,size=1M

but get the following error:
update VM 188: -efidisk0 storage:vm-188-disk-2,size=1M
rbd error: rbd: error opening image vm-188-disk-2: (2) No such file or directory

Anyone have any suggestions or if I am messing something here?

Thanks for any help!

Hi!

There's a bit of a special syntax for creating new disks and assigning them to a VM in one go:
<storage-id>:<size-in-GB-as-float>

As EFI Disks are special disks with a fixed size, it gets double special and you just pass 0 as size, so try:

qm set VMID --efidisk0 storage:0

I tried to create efi disk with this command (where I replace `VMID` with the actual VMID and `storage` with `vm-VMID-disk0` (because `storage:0` does not works, it says `storage "storage" does not exist` does not exist) but this does not works.

After looking other post on creating normal vm disk, I realise where the problem is: `storage` here refers to any logical volume we want the efi disk to be, not the disk it will be.
