ch older systems that had smaller default block and fragment sizes. (For example, the file
system attributes are different so the block and fragment sizes from older systems are probably
smaller.)
The use of <variable> visible_if false ensures that the variables do not appear in the
Additional dialog box from the Basic tab.

This section defining the EFI and HPSP partitions for HP Integrity servers is the same as it was for
HP-UX B.11.23.
The test around the section ensures that partition sizes are only defined for HP Integrity systems. The
variable _hp_efi_partition_size is given a set of values it can have. Note that it is not
defined as an enum, so although there is a list of values to choose from, you can still set the size of
the EFI partition directly if you want a very specific size. The _hp_efi_partition variable is
then given an initial (default) size, and then given some help text to make it easier to understand
what is does on via the additional screen.
Note that on the additional screen sizes appear in KB not MB, so although the size is defined in
MB you will see the size in KB when in itool.
For the service partition size we have some configuration that looks almost identical to the EFI
partition size we’ve already discussed.

# Set the boot disk's EFI boot partition and HP Service Partition (HPSP)
# sizes. The EFI boot partition may actually hold the HP-UX kernel at
# some point in the future. The HPSP hold off-line diagnostics and dump
# information related to machine state (clearly not a full memory dump).
# A zero size (no HPSP) should probably be kept as an option.
