Change Highlights
Optional Installation Repository
Added an optional repository for updating the NVIDIA driver to the R418 driver branch, CUDA 10.1, and other software packages associated with CUDA 10.1. The default repository updates to the component versions listed in the table Contents of Optional Repository for EL7-19.07
NVSM Updated to version 19.06
Implemented the following NVSM updates:
Storage reporting: NVSM now reports the physical slot number in addition to device name of the failed storage device.

Generic bug fixes
Software Contents:
The following table provides version information for software included in the DGX Software Stack for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
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. This is due to the likelihood of the MLNX_OFED kernel being out of sync with the Red Hat distribution kernel. This can result in system instability. To use InfiniBand on the DGX system, see the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide <https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx/dgx-rhel-install-guide/index.html> for instructions.

Compatibility
NVIDIA has validated and tested the DGX Software version EL7-19.07 on the
NVIDIA DGX-2 with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 and CentOS, and
NVIDIA DGX-1 (Tesla V100) with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 and CentOS.
NVIDIA acknowledges the wide use of CentOS and understands that it is a community-developed derivative of the NVIDIA supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Support for CentOS is available directly from the CentOS community. NVIDIA ensures that NVIDIA provided software runs on tested CentOS versions and will try to identify and correct issues related to NVIDIA provided software.
Update Instructions
For installing on a fresh DGX system, see the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 - Installation Guide <https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx/dgx-rhel-install-guide/index.html>.
To obtain additional updates, issue the following.
sudo yum update
The updates will depend on which repositories you have enabled.
See the document DGX-Software-Stack-for-Red-Hat-Enterprise-Linux-on-DGX <https://npncommunity.force.com/ESPCommunity/s/announcement/a4z1W000000WlMmQAK/dgx-software-stack-for-red-hat-enterprise-linux-on-dgx> (available to DGX customers with an NVIDIA Enterprise Support account) for instructions on updating the NVIDIA repositories.
See the section Change Highlights <ver-el7-19-07> for an explanation of the two repositories.
