Boot Into Live Environment (Dgx Os 5 Or Later); Check Disc For Defects (Dgx Os 5 Or Later) - Nvidia DGX A100 User Manual

9.2.5.3

Boot Into Live Environment (DGX OS 5 or later)

The DGX OS installer image can also be used as a Live image - meaning it boots and runs a
minimal DGX OS in system memory and does not overwrite anything on the disks in the
system. While this Live mode does not load drivers, and is essentially a simple Ubuntu Server
configuration, it can be used as a tool for debugging a system if the disks on the system are
not accessible, or otherwise should not be touched.
When booting into the live environment, log in as root (a password is not needed). In normal
operation, this option should not be selected.
9.2.5.4

Check Disc for Defects (DGX OS 5 or later)

If you are experiencing oddities when installing DGX OS, and suspect the installation media
has an issue, selecting this item will do an extensive test of the contents of the install media. It
is time consuming, and the installation media generally is not the real source of the problem.
In normal operation, this option should not be selected.
