Well, strange...
There may exist dependencies to the machine's BIOS version, or to the existing iRMC version.
Although not as sexy, you could try and perform the update using local media (USB stick, update CD) in recovery mode.
NB: Manual setting of Operating System Information in iRMC web interface is only possible when no system management agent is running. This means that you are able to set this information while the server is switched off, but as soon as the agent in the running OS initializes, this information will get overwritten, and the fields become informational only. Of course, the information manually set will NOT get overwritten, and remain changeable, if your OS does not have a system management agent installed.
