Smart Start 8.7  With a Bug


I just need to share with you a bug in the new version of the smart start 8.7 whether it is x86 or x64.
I was trying to use the new SmartStart Release 8.7 with a USB-Key. i created a bootable USB-Key like all other versions of smartstart in the smartstart maintenance menu. The Key is working and booting correctly.
And I added the ISO files embedded in the same Flash drive, as shown in figure,

When we choose to install the OS. you have to choose the location of the ISOs,as shown

 but we cannot choose anything. You cannot write the location by hand and you cannot choose the location by clicking through the folders, as shown in the following figure,

This is an Issue found on the New smart start 8.7, which is not found in the previous version 8.6.
Here is the images related to the 8.6 version

From where you just double click the Folder”usb0” and you find the ISO files.
The solution for this point is to use 2 flash drives, one having the bootable USB-Key and the other having the ISO files.
For more information related to this issue I would like to share the link for the Proliant servers community issues
