Server booting correctly but file /boot/grub/grub.conf is missing

I was checking a server that didn’t have the file /boot/grub/grub.conf but it was booting without any issues.

The server is a Proliant Gen9

root@linux:~ # dmidecode –type system
# dmidecode 2.12
# SMBIOS entry point at 0x788fb000
SMBIOS 2.8 present.

Handle 0x0009, DMI type 1, 27 bytes

System Boot Information

This server has UEFI instead of BIOS. Checking some servers I found the file on /boot/efi/EFI/redhat

root@linux:/boot/efi/EFI/redhat # ls -l
total 256
-rwx——. 1 root root 1648 Nov 4 13:00 grub.conf
-rwx——. 1 root root 254248 Apr 7 2015 grub.efi

and /boot/efi/efi/redhat

root@linux:/boot/efi/efi/redhat # ls -l
total 264
-rwx——. 1 root root 1666 Nov 4 12:59 grub.conf
-rwx——. 1 root root 254248 Apr 7 2015 grub.efi
