HP management CLI (hpasmcli)
hpasmcli is a scriptable command line interface for interacting with the hpasmd or hpasmxld
management daemons. It is used to view/set/modify BIOS settings such as hyperthreading, boot
control, and UID LEDs. It can be used to display hardware status, such as fans, power supplies,
etc. It can also show, repair, and clear the Integrated Management Log (IML).
The CLI supports TAB completion of command names and has a history buffer that can be accessed
using the up/down arrows. See hpasmcli(4) manpage for more info.

hp ProLiant boot configuration utility (hpbootcfg)
The hpbootcfg utility allows an application to set which device to boot from on the next boot of
the system. This can be a permanent change or a "one time" boot change. Typically this feature
is used to boot to PXE for a remote installation. A typical usage would be "/sbin/hpbootcfg
-P -b" followed by a "/sbin/shutdown -r". This command sequence would reboot the server
to PXE boot mode and would not wait on any "F1" prompt messages.
