On CentOS Linux 7, Convert2RHEL is installing an older version of the shim-x64 package (specifically shim-x64-15-7.el7_8.x86_64) than the latest available version in the rhel-7-server-rpms repo (specifically shim-x64-15-11.el7.x86_64). That is not the expected state. Convert2RHEL should always install the latest available RHEL packages. Unless there are conflicts and in this case there are none.
Reproducer:
- UEFI=1 SYSTEM=centos7 vagrant up
- yum update -y
- reboot
- convert2rhel --debug -y --no-rpm-va --serverurl "subscription.rhsm.stage.redhat.com" --username c2r_main --password c2r_pswd --pool 2c94d1aa8608736d0186139c40392d11
- rpm -q shim-x64
shim-x64-15-7.el7_8.x86_64
Subsequent post-conversion `# yum update shim-x64` updated the shim package to the expected shim-x64-15-11.el7.x86_64 version just fine.
# yum update shim-x64 -y

Looking at the available shim packages in rhel-7-server-rpms (https://rhsm-pulp.corp.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/7/7Server/x86_64/os/Packages/s/)
shim-x64-15-7.el7_8.x86_64.rpm 2020-07-29 18:44 689K shim-x64-15-8.el7_8.x86_64.rpm 2020-08-01 09:07 689K shim-x64-15-11.el7.x86_64.rpm 2020-09-17 14:07 691K
This might be related to customer case https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03412830 where the system was unbootable after the conversion. We don't have a log from the conversion there but the conclusion was that there was a problem with the shim package and installing the shim-x64.x86_64 0:15-11.el7 resolved the boot issue.
