Doc Text:
Previously, the 'ipmitool sensor' command failed to report temperatures. This occurred on hardware with unusual IPMB addresses where 'ipmitool' bridged messages to the baseboard management controller (BMC) itself, which failed. With this update, 'ipmitool' properly recognizes all IPMB addresses and does not bridge requests to BMC, and reports the temperatures as expected.
