EFI VMware Virtual NVME Namespace (NSID 1)


To start a newly created virtual machine, we got an error message that is, "EFI VMware Virtual NVME Namespace (NSID 1).... No Media". Like the below image.




VM failed to boot or VM failed to load from hard drive or CDROM. If the firmware type of VM is selected as "UEFI", then this error message will have appeared. Just like as the following image:-




To resolve this issue, simply just change the firmware type to "BIOS". Then everything will be okey.
Step by step process is shown below:-

First of all, we have to edit the virtual machine settings. To edit the settings, select "Edit virtual machine settings".




Now go to the "Option" tab from virtual machine settings.




Click on "Advanced" and change "Firmware type" to "BIOS". 




In the vCenter server, you can find this option under the "Boot Options" section. Just change the firmware type to the "BIOS". 



Finally, click on "OK". Run your virtual machine again. Hopefully, it will start that new VM without any error.
