If your system is running a version earlier than EL7-22.04, 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 7, EL7-22.06 update, is available.
EL7-22.06 supports all DGX products such as DGX A100, DGX-2, DGX-1 (with Tesla V100), DGX Station, and DGX Station A100.
Installing or updating to EL7-22.06 also updates the installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 distribution to the latest version. If you need to use Mellanox OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for Linux (MLNX_OFED), before you install or update to EL7-22.06, ensure that there is a MLNX_OFED package version available that supports the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version. Refer to the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide <https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx/dgx-rhel-install-guide/index.html> for instructions.
R450 Repository
The R450 repository must be enabled if you are installing on a DGX A100 or DGX Station A100 system. See the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide <../dgx-rhel-install-guide/index.html> for instructions.

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 that is 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 most likely because the MLNX_OFED kernel is 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/installing-ib-drivers.html#installing-ib-drivers> for instructions.
The R418 repository is available and is enabled by default.
