Troubleshooting
Please add additional metadata for uploaded image over GUI, It's recommended for VMware/Hyper-V to work properly
- hw_disk_bus="sata"
- hw_vif_model="e1000"
update image metadata
setting network driver - e1000
setting disk bus - sata
Glance metadata for UEFI images
- hw_disk_bus='sata'
- hw_firmware_type='uefi'
- hw_machine_type='q35'
- hw_qemu_guest_agent='True'
- os_secure_boot='optional'
- hw_vif_model='e1000'
- hw_video_model='vga'
