Software Contents
The following table provides version information for software included in the DGX Software Stack for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Note
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.
