Version EL8-22.08
If your system is running a version earlier than EL8-22.05, you need to update the keys on the system. Refer to Rotating the GPG Key for more information about how to rotate the keys
The DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, EL8-22.08, is available.
EL8-22.08 supports all DGX products - DGX A100/A800, DGX-2, DGX-1, DGX Station, DGX Station A100, and DGX Station A800.
Installing or updating to EL8-22.08 also updates the installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 distribution to the latest version.
NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage (GDS) v1.1 does not support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.
If you are using GDS 1.1, contact NVIDIA Enterprise Support before performing the upgrade.
If you need to use the Mellanox OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for Linux (
MLNX_OFED), before you install or update to EL8-22.08, ensure that there is aMLNX_OFEDpackage version available that supports the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 version.Refer to the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Installation Guide for instructions.

The following table provides version information for software included in the DGX Software Stack for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Unlike the DGX OS shipped with the NVIDIA DGX system, the DGX software stack for Red Hat does not include the Mellanox OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (MLNX_OFED) for Linux. When using MLNX_OFED with Red Hat, ensure you install a supported MLNX_OFED kernel version to avoid incompatibilities with the Red Hat distribution kernel. Refer to the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Installation Guide for instructions.
