UEFI is an OS and platform-independent boot and preboot interface. UEFI resides between the OS

and platform firmware, enabling the OS to boot without having details about the underlying

hardware and firmware. UEFI supports boot devices, uses a flat memory model, and hides platform

and firmware details from the OS.

NOTE:

Unified UEFI Forum, Inc. defines the specification used to implement UEFI. POSSE is an

HP extension to UEFI, which provides a common user interface architecture to better serve HP

customers, service, and manufacturing.

UEFI consolidates boot utilities similar to those found in PA-RISC based servers, such as the BCH,

and platform firmware into a single platform firmware. UEFI enables the selection of any UEFI OS

loader from any boot medium that is supported by UEFI boot services. An UEFI OS loader supports

multiple options on the user interface.

UEFI supports booting from media that contain an UEFI OS loader or an UEFI-defined server

partition. An UEFI-defined system partition is required by UEFI to boot from a block device.

The UEFI boot manager loads UEFI applications (including the OS first stage loader) and UEFI

drivers from an UEFI-defined file system or image loading service. NVRAM variables point to the

file to be loaded. These variables contain application-specific data that is passed directly to the

UEFI application. UEFI variables provides system firmware a boot menu that points to all the

operating systems, even multiple versions of the same operating systems.

The UEFI boot manager enables you to control the server booting environment. Depending on how

you have configured the boot options, after the server is powered up the boot manager presents

you with different ways to bring up the server. For example, you can boot to the UEFI shell, to an

operating system located on the network or residing on media in the server, or the Boot Maintenance

Manager. See

For details on these commands, enter help command at the UEFI Shell prompt.
