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

Parameters

-b
category
cmd
bch
bchmenu
bchcmd

Operation

If help is invoked with no parameters, it displays a list of shell command categories. To list all
of the commands within a category, the user should type help <category> (see examples).
If invoked with the -b switch, any output longer than one page pauses after each page is
displayed. If a shell command name is used as a parameter, verbose help is displayed 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 the user 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 a list of commands that appear under that BCH menu. The user may then invoke help
followed by bch, the menu name, and a BCH command name to display information on that
command. This would point the user to the command that has taken the place of that BCH
functionality, or will inform the user that the functionality no longer exists. As a shortcut, the
user may enter help followed by bch and a BCH command name to go straight to that command.
