Is this an old bug，I saw a lot of related information on the Internet，for example：
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/16.1.0/nova/tests/unit/virt/libvirt/test_driver.py
Has the master branch code solved this problem?
If anyone have good suggestions, please let me know..Thanks

You are using Stein. Since that release we merged improvements[1] in the UEFI boot handling. So I suggest to try it with a newer nova version. Please note that there are further improvements in progress in the current release cycle[2].

If you have to stay on Stein then one thing you can check is that your compute host has the UEFI loader in a place where nova looks for it[3].

I set this bugreport to INCOMPLETE. Please set it back to NEW once you have some feedback about my suggestions above.
