Good morning and happy Easter!

I am re-building my Proxmox server from scratch, so I can set IOMMU properly on my Intel i350-T4 card. With that said I am not sure if I am running Grub or SystemD. I ran the EFIBOOTMGR -v command and here is the output:

I believe I have Grub but would like you to chime in here. I have the blue initial screen, when I built the system, but I have seen that change when updating Proxmox, as it goes to the simple black and white screen. Suffice it to say I am confused. I am also curious as to why VMware ESXi and Windows boot manager are listed in the above output, as I have never installed either on this system.

Thanks,
Steve
 
you are currently booting option Boot0001, which is shim, which in turn boots Grub.
