VM created from OVA template does not deploy
When you upload an OVA template into Abiquo, and create a VM, then the VM may fail to boot from the disk and just try to do a network boot/PXE. However, if you deploy the same OVA directly into vCenter, then it deploys fine.
This issue may occur when the VM requires UEFI boot but this option is not selected on the VM template.
To resolve the issue, edit the VM template, go to the Advanced tab, and select the UEFI boot checkbox.
