EFI/POSSE Commands
This section describes the EFI/POSSE commands developed for the server.
NOTE: EFI/POSSE are similar. EFI is an Intel specification, whereas POSSE is the HP
implementation that helps HP support.
help
Provides information on the EFI Shell commands. It also has an additional feature to help those
familiar with the BCH menus of PA-RISC servers to adjust to the 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, 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 command points you to the EFI command that has
replaced 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.
