    Hi,

    Given a list of sensors generated from ipmiutil sensor I would like to use the   Master Write/Read command to read the actual sensor.  Is it possible to do this using ipmiutil?  The reason for doing this is to stress the i2c busses the sensors are located on.

    Thanks,
    Jay

      You could compose custom Master write/read commands and invoke them with "ipmiutil cmd", but I'm not sure that this will stress the i2c sensor bus any more than the regular GetSensorReading command.  The BMC polls each of the sensors repeatedly and averages the readings before returning it.
