and the same happens when you change the server in most cases with all 
that "predictable" stuff because it's proven to be not that predictable 
when changing hardware and you are not married with a specific vendor

the old world was at least able to give you a predictable "eth0" on a 
new machine after the initial setup

high administration skills?

just connect to ILO while have a trained monkey on the phone who tells 
you which of the labeled cables he put in at the moment - sorry but 
besides that this happens very rarely at all but if you can't cope with 
it you lack the skills for beeing a sysadmin at all
