6.3 Configuring Boot in the UEFI HII
The UEF HII allows you to perform the following tasks to configure UEFI Boot code:
Set BFS (see Section 6.4, Setting Boot from SAN).
Scan for Fibre devices (see Section 6.5, Scanning for Fibre Devices).
Add and delete boot devices (see Section 6.6, Adding Boot Devices and Section 6.7, Deleting Boot Devices).
Change boot device order (see Section 6.8, Changing the Boot Device Order).
Configure HBA and boot parameters (see Section 6.9, Configuring HBA and Boot Parameters).
Set adapters to their default settings (see Section 6.10, Resetting Emulex Adapters to Their Default Values).
Display adapter information (see Section 6.11, Displaying Adapter Information).
Update legacy-only configuration settings (see Section 6.12, Legacy-Only Configuration Settings).
Request reset or reconnect to make changes active (see Section 6.13, Requesting a Reset or Reconnect).
Update the Emulex firmware (see Section 6.14, Emulex Firmware Update Utility).
Set Emulex NVMe over FC boot settings (see Section Section 6.15, NVMe over FC Boot Settings).
NOTE: Changes made to parameters common to UEFI and x86 drivers are changed in both driver configuration utilities.
