EFI/POSSE Commands
This section provides information on the EFI/POSSE commands developed for the server.
EFI and Pre-OS System Environment (POSSE) are similar. EFI is an Intel specification, whereas
POSSE is the HP implementation that aids HP support.
NOTE:
Your output might not exactly match the output shown in this section due to the type
of server you purchased.
help
Provides information on the EFI Shell commands. It also has an additional feature to aid those
familiar with the BCH menus of PA-RISC servers 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 initiated with no parameters, it displays a list of EFI Shell command categories. 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 informs 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.
The following examples show the available options and output:
