If you have access to racadm on a bare server (e.g. with a DRAC) I think

If the DRAC is configured to use the dedicated NIC port, the MAC address
correlation would not hold. A

You can use the racadm ifconfig command (only available from the DRAC
command-line interface) to get the DRAC's MAC address - the
