NVIDIA Grace Software with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15#

NVIDIA® Grace systems can run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and take advantage of the advanced Grace features. This guide explains how to install and configure Grace systems with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6.

Attention

Although it might be possible to use other Linux distributions that are related to (or inspired by) SLES, for example openSUSE Leap, only SLES has been pre-validated with the steps in this guide for installation on Grace platforms.

Prerequisites#

This section lists the required (or recommended) prerequisites.

SUSE Subscription#

A SUSE subscription is required to install and use SLES 15 on the Grace platform. A subscription allows you to obtain update packages and additional packages for SLES. To purchase a subscription or obtain a free evaluation subscription, go to the SUSE Customer Center (SCC).

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Installation Media#

The installation method in this guide requires the SLES 15 SP6 Quarterly Update 1 (or later) installation media. To obtain these Quarterly Update (QU) ISO images:

  1. Go to the SLES download page.

  2. Select Stable Release 15 SP6 for the Arm Architecture.

  3. For the latest installer images link, navigate to the corresponding SCC product page from the login page to SUSE Customer Center.

Access to Repositories#

The repositories can be accessed from the internet. If you are using a proxy server, follow the instructions in the SLES Deployment Guide to ensure that the system can access the necessary URIs.

SUSE Repositories#

To install software for the Grace platform over SLES 15, you need access to the following repositories:

  • Basesystem Module: sle-module-basesystem
