End of support for DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
DGX Software EL7-22.08 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been upgraded with the latest NVIDIA driver upgrades. These are the final upgrades for this version. NVIDIA releases driver upgrades quarterly. The next quarterly driver upgrades will not be made available for this release.
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, EL7-22.08, is available.
EL7-22.08 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 EL7-22.08 also updates the installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 distribution to the latest version.
Before you install or upgrade the operating system, ensure that there is a MLNX_OFED package
version available that supports the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version.
The DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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, see the DGX Software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide for instructions.
