9. Upgrade the system using the newly configured local repositories.
$ sudo apt full-upgrade
If you configured apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS packages in the file /etc/apt/
sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r450-cuda11-0-repo.list, the NVIDIA graphics driver is
upgraded to the R450 driver and the package sources are updated to obtain future updates
from the R450 driver repositories.
10.Optional: (For DGX OS Release 4.5 and later only) If you configured apt to use the NVIDIA
DGX OS packages in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r450-cuda11-0-
repo.list and want to use CUDA Toolkit 11.0, install it.
$ sudo apt install cuda-toolkit-11-0
Note: If you did not configure apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS packages in the file /etc/apt/
sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r450-cuda11-0-repo.list, omit this step. If you try to
install CUDA Toolkit 11.0, the attempt fails.
A.3.3. Configuring the Target Air-Gapped DGX OS 5
System
The instructions in this section are to be performed on the target air-gapped DGX system.
The following are the prerequisites.
‣
The target air-gapped DGX system is installed, has gone through the first boot process,
and is ready to be updated with the latest packages.
‣
The USB storage device on which the mirrors were created is attached to the target DGX
system.
There are other ways to transfer the data that are not covered in this document as they will
depend on the data center policies for the air-gapped environment.
1. Mount the storage device on the air-gapped system to /media/usb/repository for
consistency.
2. Configure the apt (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/apt.8.html)
command to use the file system as the repository in the file /etc/apt/sources.list by
modifying the following lines.
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security
main multiverse universe restricted
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main
multiverse universe restricted
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates
main multiverse universe restricted
3. Configure apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS packages in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
dgx.list file.
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/repo.download.nvidia.com/baseos/ubuntu/
focal/x86_64/ focal main dgx
