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, a list of shell command categories displays. To list all of the
commands within a category, enter help <category> (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
