B.5.4 Alpha and Equivalent Integrity servers System Boot Commands
The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) on Integrity servers performs most of the same functions
that the SRM console does on Alpha processors. If you are familiar with the Alpha tool, use the
following table to find EFI commands equivalent to the Alpha commands you commonly use
on Alpha systems. Some of the commands listed might not be available on certain hardware
systems.

1 Similar functionality is provided by the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility
(SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM), launched at the OpenVMS DCL prompt. Regarding the display of devices,
BOOT_OPTIONS.COM displays only the boot entries and also a selected dump device for DOSD and a debug device;
vms_show
can display all devices mapped by the EFI console and their equivalent OpenVMS device names. The
map command shows all devices currently mapped on the EFI Shell.
2 Best source of information about power status is the MP PS command.
