**Expected Result:** VM deploys successfully and is in Running state
**Actual Result:** VM deploys successfully and is in Running state
**1.2 Verified It's Using BIOS**
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-kvm1 ~]# virsh dumpxml i-2-3-VM
| sed -n '/<os>/,/<\/os>/p'
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.6.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='cdrom'/>
<boot dev='hd'/>
<smbios mode='sysinfo'/>
</os>
```
**Expected Results:**
- No output from grep loader (no loader element)
- Machine type shows pc-i440fx or similar (not q35)
- No <loader> or <nvram> tags in OS section
- No NVRAM file in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/
**Actual Results:**
ALL CHECKS PASSED - VM is using BIOS boot mode
- No loader element found (grep returned nothing)
- Machine type: pc-i440fx-rhel7.6.0 (traditional BIOS)
- No nvram element
- Traditional boot device order
**1.3 Stop/Start VM Lifecycle Test**
- Stop the VM

- Verify on Host2:
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-kvm2 ~]# virsh dumpxml i-2-3-VM
| grep -A 5 "<os>"
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-rhel7.6.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='cdrom'/>
<boot dev='hd'/>
<smbios mode='sysinfo'/>
</os>
```
**Expected Result:** Migration succeeds, VM remains running on Host2
**Actual Result:**
- Migration completed successfully
- VM still using BIOS boot mode after migration
- No loader or nvram elements added
### Step 2 – Upgrade to PR Version
**2.1 Upgrade MS / Agents on Both KVM Hosts**
- Host1
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-kvm1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep
cloudstack-agent
cloudstack-agent-4.22.0.0-shapeblue17703.noarch
```
- Host2
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-kvm2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep
cloudstack-agent
cloudstack-agent-4.22.0.0-shapeblue17703.noarch
```
- Management Server
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-mgmt1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep

cloudstack-management-4.22.0.0-shapeblue17703.noarch
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-mgmt1 ~]#
```
**Expected Result: Management Server / Agents upgraded successfully
**Actual Results:** Successfully upgraded MS + Hosts
**2.2 Verify UEFI Config Files Created**
- Check if uefi.properties exists on Host1 / Host2
```
[root@ref-trl-9845-k-Mol8-rositsa-kyuchukova-kvm1 ~]# ls -l
/etc/cloudstack/agent/uefi.properties
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 297 Oct 23 10:17

- Verify OVMF packages are installed
```

**Actual Results:**
- /etc/cloudstack/agent/uefi.properties exists
- File contains OVMF paths for legacy and secure boot

- swtpm package is installed
**2.3 Restart Agents and Management Server**
Expected Result: Agent restarts successfully with no errors
Actual Results: Agents restart successfully with no errors
**2.5 Check Host UEFI Capabilities on Management Server**
