RESTful API support for UEFI
The ProLiant Gen9 servers include support for a UEFI compliant System BIOS, along with UEFI System
Utilities and Embedded UEFI Shell pre-boot environments. ProLiant Gen9 servers also support
configuring the UEFI BIOS settings using the RESTful API, a management interface that server
management tools can use to perform configuration, inventory, and monitoring of a ProLiant server. A
REST client uses HTTPS operations to configure supported server settings, such as UEFI BIOS settings.
