Before vSphere 6.5 P03, exporting virtual machine with EFI firmware through content library may result in OVF template with BIOS firmware, and deploying OVF template with EFI firmware through content library may result in virtual machine with BIOS firmware.
With vSphere 6.5 P03, exporting virtual machine with EFI firmware and NVRAM file through content library may result in OVF template with EFI firmware but without the NVRAM file, and deploying OVF template with EFI firmware and NVRAM file through content library may fail.
This issue occurs because Content Library does not support EFI firmware before vSphere 6.5 P03 and does not support NVRAM boot file with vSphere 6.5 P03.
This issue is resolved in VMware vSphere ESXi 6.5 P03 (ESXi650-201811002).
