While I'm still learning both EFI and SRM, ?   I have not encountered anything with the EFI console that has @   caused me particular concern -- EFI is different than SRM, but?   then SRM has its own differences and is itself different from -   the Alpha SCM and VAX console environments.   H :Remembering the previous discussion "diagnostics" specific to VMS have F :to be put into "extended EFI", i.e. "FAT partition" -- checking SCSI J :commands required by VMS (and not used by Windows) for example.

Intel works with various vendors here, butC   Intel is the entity that coordinates and publishes the materials.   F   I've discussed the low-level disk layout at the technical symposium,H   and I expect to be discussing it at future symposia and future events.E   Again, from the perspective of OpenVMS and of OpenVMS applications, H   the disks look IDENTICAL to ALL applications.  From the console, well,E   we can store what tools and utilities we need into the storage area %   that is available to the console.     D   I do expect that we will have materials available future technicalE   journals on the Itanium effort, and the console would be an obvious A   area for an article.  We will certainly have information on the D   system management interface, but -- again -- it looks just like itD   does now.  (Only there are some neat console-level extensions that   are now available to us.)   G   And per concerns mentioned elsewhere in the newsgroup over recovering H   from potential storage controller failures and requirements beyond theE   capabilities of Power-On-Self-Test (POST), we have multiple storage J   media choices available for this.
