HPE Proliant DL380p G10, will not boot from SPP usb

Hello everyone

I am currently running in to an odd issue. 

I have 8 Proliant Gen10 Servers, which I need to update the firmware on to the newest version (2018.11.0) using the SPP package. At the moment the servers will not boot from the USB I created for the purpose. The USB is shown in the boot menu, but when I try booting from it, the screen just blinks black and then it return to the boot menu. 

The steps I have taken:

1) Download the 2018.11.0 SPP package from HPE.com

2) Created the bootable USB with the HP usb bootable creation utility. (Stored in the ISO file)

3) Tried booting from the USB, without luck.

To troubleshoot I have done the following: 

- Tried with another SPP (2018.09.0) ISO - Does not work either, same issue.

- Tried with 2 other USB sticks - Does not work either, same issue.

- Tried creating the bootable USB with Rufus - Does not work either, same issue. 

- Checked if the BIOS is setup to allow USB boot, which it already were.

- Tried both UEFI and Legacy boot - Does not work either, same issue with either of them.

I have searched the web and the forums, but I cannot seem to find any other case with this issue. Do anybody have an idea what could be wrong? 

Thanks in advance! 

Regards

A
