Questions of openbmc-test-automation

[Rahul Maheshwari]

Hi Will
At present, we don't have ways to avoid Redfish dependency in IPMI suite.
We can code like the way you pointed, but it is possible only for some IPMI
commands(like power on and off). For all other IPMI commands like event
logs, FRU, SDR, DCMI commands we need to depend on Redfish to verify the
output.

Thanks
Rahul
