| EFI and vTPM persistent state is stored separately from the volumes listed in `vm.Spec.Template.Spec.Volumes`. Harvester creates this storage only after the source VM has been started at least once. If the source VM has never been started, cloning a VM with EFI or vTPM persistent state can fail because the required source storage does not exist. |
