VM converted from vhdx to qcow2 not booting

Hi everyone, I am trying to migrate some VM from Hyper-V 2012 R2 to openstack. Most VM are gen2 and EFI enabled. Most of my VM are windows server 2012 R2. Below are the steps i followed for gen2: - Install VirtIO (all of them) drivers while VM is booted on the Hyper-V host - Converted the vhdx to qcow2 using cloudbase qemu-img - installed OVMF on compute nodes -Imported the qcow2 file into glance and set hwfirmwaretype=uefi - created instance from image FAILURE: windows not booting and getting message "your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info and then we wil restart for you"

I managed to boot windows with the same image by setting "hwdiskbus=ide" however i can't attach any secondary volume to the instance since it will only attach as /dev/hba/ instead of "/dev/vdb" and windows guest cannot see it.

Anyone has an idea on what i am doing wrong and how i can fix this. Thank you in advance. Regards RZ
