Ramakrishnan G 2ebfb12b84 Add proliant-tools element 
This new element installs hpssacli utility (for configuring
RAID) and installs proliantutils python module (which has
ironic-python-agent hardware manager for HP ProLiant hardware).

This module also exposes a new environment variable DIB_HPSSACLI_URL
which allows operator to pass a custom HTTP(S) URL for RPM of hpssacli
utility.

NOTE: This module currently supports only installing from source.

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`_.
