For us, the key thing is the MAC address(es) of the network interfaces in /etc/udev.d/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Those rules determine the naming of your network interfaces, which is often critical to everything else.

Yes, exactly.
More than once I found a system in a remote datacenter inaccessible after motherboard replacement with only pure hardware smart hands on site.
Ditto - most often though, our provider will have booted a rescue system, and the first thing we do is always to remove /etc/udev.d/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and then reboot. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
