+
+Note that when using _id parameters, you must also match the parameter type across the following when domain is specified:
+- openstack_project_id
+- openstack_user_domain_id
+- openstack_project_domain_id 
+
+Further, you can opt to use a static master by setting the master's hypervisor to none, and identifying its location thus:
+```yaml
+    hypervisor: none
+    hostname: <master_hostname>
+    vmhostname: <master_hostname>
+    ip: <master_ip>
 ```
 
+Additional parameter information is available at https://github.com/voxpupuli/beaker/blob/master/docs/concepts/argument_processing_and_precedence.md

 There is a simple rake task to invoke acceptance test for the library once the two environment variables are set:
