+## Example YAML for HPE-ETCD
+After generating the file, place it in the /etc/kubernetes/manifests directory to automaticly start the pod and have it persist. This
+example only covers a single instance; however, for HA you will want to replicate it to two additional nodes (3 nodes in total).
+
+## HPE Etcd Setup
+1. Set the node IP address for step 2 
+```export HostIP="<Master node IP>"```
+2. Create the hpe-etcd.yaml file below; note that this file shares the TLS settings of your Kubernetes etcd cluster. In production
+   you should create your own TLS keys and certificates for this separate etcd key value database.

 2. Run the following Docker command to create the HPE etcd container
->**NOTE:** etcd stores the HPE 3PAR volume metadata and is required for the plugin to function properly. If you have multiple instances of etcd running on the same Docker node, you will need to modify the default etcd ports (2379, 2380, 4001) and make the adjustment in the **hpe.conf** as well.
