+proliant-tools
+==============
+
+* This element can be used when building ironic-agent ramdisk.  It
+  enables ironic-agent ramdisk to do in-band cleaning operations specific
+  to HP ProLiant hardware.
+
+* Works with ubuntu and fedora distributions (on which ironic-agent
+  element is supported).
+
+* Currently the following utilities are installed:
+
+  + `proliantutils`_ - This module registers an ironic-python-agent hardware
+    manager for HP ProLiant hardware, which implements in-band cleaning
+    steps.  The latest version of ``proliantutils`` available is
+    installed.  This python module is released with Apache license.
+
+  + `HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) CLI for Linux 64-bit`_ - This
+    utility is used by ``proliantutils`` library above for doing in-band RAID
+    configuration on HP ProLiant hardware.  Currently installed version is
+    2.30.  Newer version of ``hpssacli`` when available, may be installed to
+    the ramdisk by using the environment variable ``DIB_HPSSACLI_URL``.
+    ``DIB_HPSSACLI_URL`` should contain the HTTP(S) URL for downloading the
+    RPM package for ``hpssacli`` utility.  Availability of newer versions can
+    be in the Revision History in the above link.  This utility is closed source
+    and is released with `HP End User License Agreement – Enterprise Version`_.
