 Starting with Kilo release Ironic supports hardware inspection that simplifies
 enrolling nodes. Inspection allows Ironic to discover required node properties

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+NOTE: The RAID shall be pre-configured prior to inspection otherwise
+proliantutils returns 0 for disk size.
+
+The inspection process will discover the following essential properties
+(properties required for scheduling deployment):
+
+* ``memory_mb``: memory size
+
+* ``cpus``: number of cpus
+
+* ``cpu_arch``: cpu architecture
+
+* ``local_gb``: disk size
+
+Inspection can also discover the following extra capabilities for iLO drivers:
+
+* ``ilo_firmware_version``: iLO firmware version
+
+* ``rom_firmware_version``: ROM firmware version
+
+* ``secure_boot``: secure boot is supported or not. The possible values are
+  'true' or 'false'.
+
+* ``server_model``: server model
+
+* ``pci_gpu_devices``: number of gpu devices connected to the baremetal.
+
+* ``nic_capacity``: the max speed of the embedded NIC adapter.
