I was recently faced with the prospect of commissioning another 42 servers and needed to get the MAC addresses of both NICs of all server for cobbler installs. So, I re-visited this issue and found a way to do it - racadm racdump The following command prints the MAC addresses for the DRAC and all embedded NICs: $ racadm -r $DRAC -u root -p calvin racdump | \ egrep '^MAC Address|^NIC. Ethernet' MAC Address = a4:ba:db:11:38:2f NIC1 Ethernet = a4:ba:db:11:38:2d NIC2 Ethernet = a4:ba:db:11:38:2e NIC3 Ethernet = N/A NIC4 Ethernet = N/A Yay!
