How can I disable secure boot using virt-install cli?

[Lucas Liu]

Hello all:

I am looking for a way to disable secure boot for UEFI guests:
In 3.2.0 I use the command blow to achieve it:

# virt-install --name GuestOne --location #URL --machine q35 --vcpus=2
--memory 4096 --file-size=20 --boot uefi --boot
nvram.template=/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.fd

However, in 4.0.0 I cannot get the same result for this cmd

Expect VM is booted with secureboot disabled. But the actual result is the
VM is booted with secureboot enabled.

# mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot enabled

...
<os>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-rhel9.0.0'>hvm</type>
    <loader readonly='yes' secure='no'
type='pflash'>/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd</loader>
    <nvram
template='/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd'>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/rhel9_VARS.fd</nvram>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
  </os>
...

It seems it still creates guests with
"/usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd" as the nvram template.


Thanks a lot!
