Version EL8-24.07

This section provides details of each NVIDIA DGX™ software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. These include mostly new NVIDIA features and accumulated bug fixes and security updates.

Attention

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.

Important

Installing or updating to EL8-24.07 also updates the installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 distribution to the latest version.

If you need to use the Mellanox OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution for Linux (MLNX_OFED), before you install or update to EL8-24.07, ensure that there is a MLNX_OFED package version available that supports the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 version.

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.
