The connectefi disk command now connects DISK I/O devices as well.
The connectefi scsi command is now deprecated and maps to connectefi disk.

Connecting DISK I/O devices is required to chainboot HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus systems which have their internal NVME disks use the SATA protocol.

Below is the lsefi output of such system after connecting DISK I/O devices:

    Handle 0x37fa2218
      /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(0,17)/Sata(0,0,0)/EndEntire
      151c8eae-7f2c-472c-9e54-9828194f6a88
      disk
      d432a67f-14dc-484b-b3bb-3f0291849327
      a77b2472-e282-4e9f-a245-c2c0e27bbcc1
      block
      device path
