INSTALLING SOFTWARE ON AIR-GAPPED
NVIDIA DGX-1 SYSTEMS
For security purposes, some installations require that systems be isolated from the
internet or outside networks. Since most DGX-1 software updates are accomplished
through an over-the-network process with NVIDIA servers, this section explains how
updates can be made when using an over-the-network method is not an option. It
includes a process for installing Docker containers as well.
6.1.Installing NVIDIA DGX-1 Software
One method for updating DGX-1 software on an air-gapped DGX-1 is to download the
ISO image, copy it to removable media and then re-image the DGX-1 from the media.
This method is available only for software versions that are available as ISO images for
download.
Alternately, you can update the DGX-1 software by performing a network update from a
local repository. This method is available only for software versions that are available for
over-the-network updates.
6.1.1.Re-Imaging the System
WARNING:This process destroys all data and software customizations that you have
made on the DGX-1. Be sure to back up any data that you want to preserve, and push
any Docker images that you want to keep to a trusted registry.
