I'm running libvirt in user session and libvirt creates VARS part of OVMF in ~/.config/libvirt/qemu/nvram/

Check your xml, there should be lines like this:

<os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-2.7'>hvm</type>
    <loader readonly='yes' type='pflash'>/UEFI_OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
    <nvram>/home/username/.config/libvirt/qemu/nvram/vm_VARS.fd</nvram>

Subject: [libvirt-users] Trouble moving OVMF guest to new host

Hello,

I recently had to reinstall my operating system on my computer. I made a backup of the entire partition beforehand onto an external drive. Now I am trying to import a VM from that backup onto the newly installed system.

What I've done so far:

copied over the qcow2 disk image

copied over the XML config file

copied over the OVMF files under /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/

I am getting this error whenever I try to boot the VM:

Error starting domain: operation failed: unable to find any master var store for loader: /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd

The file /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-x64/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd does exist.

Where would the "master var store" be located?

Thank you,

Joe
