How to update server's position in rack?

I'm trying to update my computer's position in rack (change rack/unit). This is my request:

curl -s -L -X PATCH 'http://devglpi1z1.mydomain.net/apirest.php/computer/466' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'App-Token: 7Ja9hnKdzABCL7qAi1CSwyDCDarb2gFGqgZfLVL' \
-H 'Session-Token: 8c0d0346bf9a0db3569c23b59cbe62d' \
-d '{
    "input": {
        "180": "6H8070",
        "181": 12
    }
}'

It says:

[
    {
        "466": true,
        "message": ""
    }
]

But nothing happens, and computer's position is not updated. What is wrong?

Search options:

 "180": {
        "name": "Name",
        "table": "glpi_racks",
        "field": "name",
        "datatype": "dropdown",
        "nosearch": false,
        "nodisplay": false,
        "available_searchtypes": [
            "contains",
            "notcontains",
            "equals",
            "notequals"
        ],
        "uid": "Computer.Item_Rack.Rack.name"
    },
    "181": {
        "name": "Position",
        "table": "glpi_items_racks",
        "field": "position",
        "datatype": "number",
        "nosearch": false,
        "nodisplay": false,
        "available_searchtypes": [
            "contains",
            "notcontains"
        ],
        "uid": "Computer.Item_Rack.position"
    },

I'm not quite understand what json payload should I send to glpi api to update these fields...

{
    "input": {
        "id": 466,
        "otherserial": "SRV348432",
        "Item_Rack.Rack.name": "6H8J070",
        "Item_Rack.position": 12
    }
}

This payload does not work also. It changes only 'otherserial' field.

Updates are not done with search options. If you want to update Item_Rack data, you need to do that for the Item_Rack resource, not the computer.

PATCH 'apirest.php/Item_Rack/ITEM_RACK_ID'
{
    "input": {
        "id": ITEM_RACK_ID,
        "position": 12
    }
}

Re: How to update server's position in rack?

Thanks. This works for servers in racks. But how do I get item_id for servers, that are not in racks yet? I have a bunch of servers that I need to put into racks, how do I do it?

P.S. Is there any document that describe how to work with racks via api?

I need to do something like this:

curl -s -L -X PUT 'http://devglpi1z1.mydomain.net/apirest.php/rack/Item_Rack?get_hateoas=false' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'App-Token: 7Ja9hnKdzABCL7qAi1CNSwyDCDarb2gFGqgZfLVL' \
-H 'Session-Token: c11cec4e0aeaf067b445e1db3c8782cf' \
-d '{
    "input": {
        "id": 93, #Rack ID
        "items_id": 466, #Computer ID
        "position": 40,
        "orientation": 0,
        "bgcolor": "#69ceba",
        "hpos": 0,
        "is_reserved": 0
    }
}'

But it doesn't work...
