Yes, in-band does require more cooperation, because it needs go through the
IPMI driver of OS.
For now, pyghmi use net payload to gather IPMI data. And the rsaddr is always
0x20, which is the address of BMC. So, what if we want to query some satellite
controllers when the rsaddr or channel is
pyghmi is growing SDR, SEL, FRU, and other stuff.
I can add in-band so long as there is always python in there, however
out-of-band does not need to be too bad. In the case of a baremetal guest,
for example, gathering such data in-band would require more cooperation of
the tenant image, whereas
Re-send again because been rejected by system.
