OME Device Query to find servers without DRACs
Hi,
I'm wondering how I would go about generating a query in OME that would list servers that don't have DRAC cards installed?
A little background on this, we have a handful of PowerEdge 2900/2950, and a few PowerEdge R710 that were originally purchased without the DRAC modules installed. As other older R710s are being decommissioned, I've been removing the DRAC modules so that they can be installed in other R710s. But if possible, I'd like to obtain a list of servers that don't have DRACs installed via OME rather than take a tour to our data centers and physically inspect each server...

I've also tried generating a Device Search query as follows in the Manage --> Device Search section:
Device Type Is Server AND Agent Name Contains RAC
I thought I would try get a list of servers that DO have DRACs installed, and manually compare that list to my entire server list to find the servers that were missing DRACs. However, the resulting list contains some servers that definitely do not have DRACs installed, so that won't work.
Why are the only operands that can be used in search are "Is", "Contains", "Starts With", and "Ends With"? Where are "Not", "Doesn't Contain", etc...?
As a side note, I finished upgrading OME to version 2.2.0.2056 earlier today

Thanks for the feedback on device search feature. This will be taken forward to concerned team members.
