First how can you build be Aug 9 when our GA of 2.8.2 was 7/22. Is this a PCM built system?
Second that is a completely invalid use of the command. Check the man nodestat. Admittedly it is pretty ugly error.

I will lower it to a 3 and see if we have time to add a little more syntax checking for the next release.

[Feng Li]

Yes, it's xCAT build for PCM. I reproduced this error in PHPC4.1.1.1 (xCAT
2.8.2, build Oct 25) and PHPC 4.1.1 (xCAT build Aug 9).

Agree it's not right way to use the cmd but this error is reported from
customer side so our support team logged it.

Actually I take it back we are suppose to support a syntax of table.attribute<operator>value for the noderange. I need to check on this. I just have never seen anyone do it. </operator>

[Lissa Valletta]

This is a bug the "table.attribute<operator>value" syntax for noderange is broken.
Do we need a fix in 2.8.2-pcm or can this wait until the pcm.next release in Sept, which will be built on 2.8.4. We will fix in 2.8.4 for now.</operator>
