Hi,
I am looking to access the iLO MAC address when using Clonezilla Live. So far the ip ad command does not provide the iLO MAC which is a dedicated card on HPE servers (I guess this also applies to other brands).
The ipmitool relies on the openipmi kernel driver, however I'm not sure whether that kernel driver is already embedded in the current CL image?

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=sd00002092en_us&page=GUID-D146BDBE-A82A-4A62-8F46-D9D5D17CADAC.html&docLocale=en_US

The CLonezilla + DRBL setup is connected on port 1 of a FlexLOM cart, and we are able to retrieve multiple hardward details, except the iLO MAC address so far.

Is there any documentation on the topic?

Thanks!

Did you try Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live, like 20260220-questing, or even testing 20260330-resolute?
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
It comes with non-free firmware and newer Linux kernel so it might support your hardware better.
