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 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 shell command categories. To list all of the commands within a category, the user should enter help <category> (see examples). If initiated with the -bswitch, any output longer than one page pauses after each page is displayed. If a shell command name is used as a parameter, verbose help is displayed for that command.

If help is initiated 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 initiated followed by bch and a menu name, it displays a list of commands that appear under that BCH menu. The user may then initiate help followed by bch, the menu name, and a BCH command name to display information on that command. This would point the user to the
