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.
POSSE is a Hewlett Packard Enterprise implementation of EFI that aids Hewlett Packard
Enterprise support.

help

Provides information on the EFI Shell commands. The help command also aids administrators
familiar with the BCH menus to adjust to their equivalent functions in EFI.

Syntax

help [-b] <category>
help [-b] <cmd>
help [-b] bch <bchmenu> <bchcmd>

Parameters

-b
category
cmd
bch
bchmenu
bchcmd

Operation

If you issue the help command with no parameters, a list of shell command categories displays.
To list all of the commands within a category, enter help <category>. If help is issued with
the -b option, 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 you issue the help command 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 you issue help within the bch option and
a menu name, it displays a list of commands that appear under that BCH menu. You can then
issue help followed by bch, the menu name, and a BCH command name to display information
about that command. This points you to the EFI command that has taken the place of that BCH
functionality, or will inform the user that the functionality no longer exists. Alternately, enter help
followed by bch and a BCH command name to go straight to that command.
