EFI/POSSE Commands

This section describes the EFI/POSSE commands developed for the server.

NOTE:

EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification,

whereas POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support.

Help

Provides information on the EFI Shell commands. It also has an additional feature to aid those
familiar with the BCH menus to adjust to their equivalent functions in EFI.

Syntax

help [-b]
help [-b]
help [-b] bch

Parameters

-b Enable page breaking
category Category of commands to view help on commands
cmd Shell command name on which to provide verbose information
bch Display the list of BCH commands and their corresponding EFI
bchmenu BCH menu name taken from the top level of the BCH menu
bchcmd BCH command on which to display information

Operation

If help is invoked with no parameters, a list of shell command categories displays. To list all of the
commands within a category, enter

help

(see examples). If invoked with the

-b

switch, any output longer than one page pauses after each page displays. If a shell command
name is used as a parameter, verbose help displays for that command.
If help is invoked with the

bch

option, it displays a list of BCH commands and their corresponding

EFI/POSSE commands. It instructs you to repeat the command line followed by a menu name for
more information on that menu. If help is invoked followed by

bch

and a menu name, it displays
