Bradje1, Are you getting any message back when running the ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U -P raw 0x06 0x58 0x02 0x00 0x05 0x04 command? If so what is the message being displayed?  The thing I notice is that the final part of the string (0x04) is telling it the slot name will be 4 characters. If you change that to 0x00 then it should remove.   Next I am trying to determine your end goal of this. It is far simpler, to access the CMC via it's interface and delete/assign the slot names directly, for an individual chassis,  You can do this via the Dracs racadm SETSLOTNAME command. Page 125 of this manual - [URL] Walks you through the command structure. Let me know how it goes.        
Hi, I have the following command that should (???) reset the slot name for a powered-off server with ipmi enabled on the chassis: ipmitool -I lanplus -H -U -P raw 0x06 0x58 0x02 0x00 0x05 0x04    There is something still missing as I still cannot get names to go blank on the chassis even with the server(s) off. Can anyone pls help with the steps??? Thx, John Bradshaw
