Performed the steps for detailed label of the boot partition and rebooted the OVA appliance.
Getting this response from the readiness checker:

What could be wrong?
Environment
OVA ssg 11.x
Cause
Inconsistent disk partition mapping:
blkid output:
/dev/sdb1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="EFI" LABEL="EFI" UUID="6A2E-BB7B" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="a811443f-e4f1-9043-b5f0-326018e134d3"
/dev/sdb2: LABEL="BOOT" UUID="6b172556-a2e0-46db-ad1f-62312678dd64" SEC_TYPE="ext2" BLOCK_SIZE="1024" TYPE="ext3" PARTUUID="beabf9a4-d44a-b64d-a072-de0c1f27c5f0"
File /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1 LABEL=EFI /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
The path displayed are different. For example:
/dev/sdb2 vs /dev/sda2 for BOOT partition.
Resolution
Edit the /etc/stab file to make the partition mapping consistent.
Example fstab editing format with the label:
|
Old Entry
|
New Entry
|
|
/dev/sda2 /boot ...
|
LABEL=BOOT /boot ...
|
|
/dev/sda1 /boot/efi ...
|
LABEL=EFI /boot/efi ...
