Hi Pavan,
I am currently playing around with setting up a OVMF based test framework myself. You likely need to tell qemu to use OVMF as it’s firmware. I attach my current working libvirt XML file for creating UEFI VMs (diskless) – note the <loader> and the <nvram> elements within the <os> element.
You want to add a disk sourced from the qcow image and that should work.
Cheers,
Tom

Subject: [edk2-devel] Help needed in building UEFI qcow2 images
Hi,
[re-posting the question]
I am looking for information/documentation which helps me in enabling UEFI boot to the existing (KVM)VM template. I am trying for CentOS 6.5(64-bit) no GUI 64-bit (KVM) template.
I found some images available over https://www.kraxel.org/repos/images/ with fedora os, but I am looking for uefi enabled Cent OS template. It would be helpfull if any documentation or steps provided for the same.
Regards,
Pavan.

Hi Tomas,
Thanks for your response, I have already found a way to boot a Guest VM to boot using image https://www.kraxel.org/repos/images/fedora-29-efi-systemd-x86_64.qcow2.xz .
I have attached the domain dump xml file with this mail attachment[normal-vm.xml].
And Sorry for the lengthy message for the following , Let me write up all my questions here . It would be more helpful if you can point me to fix or resolve the following.
Actually i am struggling to done below two items
- We have CentOS flavoured qcow2 image which is used to boot Guest VM's in Apache CloudStack. We are trying to enable these CentOS qcow2 images with UEFI support. I found '.EFI' file inside fedora-29-efi-systemd-x86_64.qcow2.xz image. How can i do the same thing for CentOS images.
- I have been struggling to secure boot Guest VM using UEFI. I have enclosed my secure boot domain dumpxml [secure-vm.xml]with this mail too. When i try to boot with this xml i am ended up with an Exception . I have attached the error screen shot too .
