@willic35, I was successfully able to test it on a iDRAC firmware versions 7.10.70.00 and 6.10.80.00. However, I was only setting the ServerTopology.1.RackName attribute only and not all the attributes, but I don't see as to how that should impact setting this particular attribute only.

Could you please open a Support Request (SR) with Dell TechSupport or email us at "[email protected]"?
