Hi Marian,

I believe the following will work for you..

bkr list-systems --xml-filter '<device type="VIDEO"/>'


To do the negative you need to be careful though, since machines that haven't been inventoried will show up as well.  So I did a query where I added device type NETWORK.

bkr list-systems --xml-filter '<device op="!=" type="VIDEO"/><device type="NETWORK"/>'

If a recipe's <hostRequires/> contains filters for any inventory fields which can only be populated by the inventory script (devices are one example from the original bug), and inventory has never been run on a system, then it should be filtered out as a candidate for the recipe. Beaker can't be sure if the system does or does not satisfy the filter criteria.

Ultimately Beaker admins should always make sure to keep systems regularly inventoried but that does not always happen...

Closing as a dupe, since the other issue actually has a patch.
