Hi Jarrod,

Thanks so much for your reply. Here is the output of the command you
requested:

[xCAT Genesis running on qstorage24 /]# efibootmgr -v

Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI
variables.

Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.


I did try modprobe efivars but it tells me that module efivars is not
available.

Thanks,

Damir
