IMHO one choice you have is to boot an install media and do a hardware scan from there. Another possibility is to connect them to a switch and read the WWN from the switch, once POST is done and/or install media is loaded.

Not sure if you can get it via the "drvcfg -s" procedure in EFI.

But you can go to the system, take out the card and read the label ... sometimes the label is also readable from outside.
