I'm fairly sure I don't have drac or I'll setup on that server and honestly I don't see how that would help in this case. I modified the nic settings from within vsphere. The VMs are up and running on a different NIC and subnet.
Working within the switch crossed my mind but I know even less about that and it's a production switch where this server/vm box is test.
I do have a KVM on the server if that's of any help here.
