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. POSSE is an HP implementation of EFI that aids HP support.

NOTE: The output shown for these EFI commands are samples, and might differ depending upon your server and its configuration.

help

Provides information on the EFI Shell commands. The help command also aids administrators 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 you issue the help command with no parameters, a list of shell command categories displays. To list all of the commands within a category, enter help <category>. If help is issued with the -boption, 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 will inform 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.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
