Boot Order Type
The boot order type displays the type of the loaded configuration. The two types of boot orders are legacy and UEFI. If
the host system file is loaded, then it displays the currently active boot order type. If a saved file is loaded, then it
displays the boot order type saved in the file.
The common scenarios for boot order type are:
• If boot order type is not specified in the file and if any UEFI devices are present on the system, then the system
displays the boot order type as UEFI.
• If the boot order type is not specified in the file and if any legacy devices (other than hdd) are present on the
system, then the system displays the boot order type as legacy.
• If the boot order type is not specified and the loaded configuration file has only hdd items, then the system
prompts the user to select the boot order type.
• If the boot order type is not specified for a legacy system and if you add both UEFI and legacy devices, then the
system displays a warning message and removes the legacy or UEFI devices depending on the order of
occurrence of the device.
