A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

How to Discover IBM Virtualization

This task includes the following steps:

Prerequisites - Set up protocol credentials
This discovery uses the SSH, Telnet, and Universal Discovery protocols.

For credential information, see Supported Protocols.

If some of the commands are configured to run with sudo on the target host, in the Protocol Parameters dialog box, fill in the following fields:
- Sudo paths. Enter the full path to the sudo executable, together with the name of the executable. You can add more than one entry if executable files are placed in various places on the target operating systems.
- Command List. Enter a list of commands that are prefixed with sudo.
Prerequisites - Set up permissions
Before activating discovery, confirm that the discovery user has all the required permissions to run the following commands.
Note For details about these commands, see:
- hostname
- lscfg
- lsdev -dev <Device>
