The eq operator specifies that the system on which the tool can run must have exactly the attribute
value specified. It applies to any attribute name allowed in a system filter expression. The ge
operator specifies that a system on which the tool can run must have at least the attribute value
specified. The lt and ge operators can be used only with revision attributes, specifically OSRevision
in the OS type filter and all of the attributes of the Protocol type filter. The value of these attributes
can be numeric or can be character strings. The ct operator specifies that a system on which the
tool can run must have an attribute that contains the value specified. The neq operator specifies
that a system on which the tool can run must not have the exact attribute value specified. It applies
to any attribute name allowed in a system filter expression. The nct operator specifies that a
system on which the tool can run on must have the attribute that does not contain the value specified.
For systems, the numeric valued attributes the filter expression can specify include the OSRevision
and Protocol Support attributes, whose values are version numbers. The attribute-name is one value
listed in the tables in the following section, or a protocol name from the ProtocolSupport attribute
of a system. The attribute-value is one possible system attribute value for attribute-name.
Attribute values are based on the DMTF CIM. Usually these values are defined during the system
identification process, which uses WBEM and SNMP to determine system attributes. For this release,
valid OSName values are HP-UX, Linux, Windows NT, AIX, Solaris, and Hypervisor. For an
OSName value of HP-UX, the OSRevision attribute values have the leading alphabetic field removed
(for example B.11.11 is stored as 11.11).
A system filter expression is used as part of an include filter expression. Each type allows a different
category of attribute names on which to be filtered.

An include filter includes one or more system filter expressions using the attributes names allowed
for it. For example, an os filter could consist of:
<include-filter type="os">
<node-filter name="OSName"
operator="eq" value="LINUX" />
<node-filter name="OSVendor"
operator="eq" value="RedHat" />
<node-filter name="OSRevision"
