Booting to EFI and Preparing for Operating System Installation
You can access a partition console and its EFI system boot environment through the OA. Each
partition has its own system boot environment that provides you a method for interacting with
the partition before an operating system has booted on it. The system boot environment is
accessible through the partition console during the time after the blades assigned to the partition
have booted and completed nPartition rendezvous and before the partition begins loading an
operating system.
