EFI/POSSE Commands
This section describes the EFI/POSSE commands developed for the server.
NOTE:
EFI and POSSE are similar. EFI is an Intel specification; 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 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 <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 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 points the user to the command that has taken the place of that BCH functionality,
