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

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 Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) for a remote installation. A typical usage is
/sbin/hpbootcfg -P -b followed by a /sbin/shutdown -r. This command sequence
reboots the server to PXE boot mode and does not wait on any F1 prompt messages.
