7. Perform the steps to configure the DGX A100 software.
a). Select your language and locale preferences.
b). Select the country for your keyboard.
c). Select your time zone.
d). Confirm the UTC clock setting.
e). Create an administrative user account with your name, username, and password.
The administrator username is used also for the BMC login username and GRUB
username.
Note: The BMC software will not accept "sysadmin" for a username. If you create this
username for the system log in, "sysadmin" will not be available for logging in to the
BMC.
f). Create a BMC admin password.
The BMC password length must be a minimum of 13 and a maximum of 20 characters.
CAUTION: Once you create your login credentials, the default admin/dgxluna.admin
credentials will no longer work.
g). (Available starting with DGX OS 5.0) Create a GRUB password.
‣
Your GRUB password must have at least 8 characters.
If it has less than 8 characters, you will not be able to continue.
‣
You can select OK without entering a password which will disable this step, but
NVIDIA recommends setting the GRUB password for security hardening.
h). (Available starting with DGX OS 5.0) Create a root filesystem passphrase.
You will need the new passphrase to unlock the root filesystem when the system boots.
This step appears only if you installed the system with an encrypted root filesystem
during DGX OS installation.
i). Choose a primary network interface for the DGX A100 system; for example, enp226s0.
This should typically be the interface that you will use for subsequent system
configuration or in-band management. Do not select enp37s0f3u1u3c2 (or
bmc_redfish0 or similar), as this is intended only for out-of-band management or
future support of in-band tools accessing the Redfish APIs.
After you select the primary network interface, the system attempts to configure the
interface for DHCP and then asks you to enter the name server addresses.
‣
If no DHCP is available, then click OK at the Network autoconfiguration failed
dialog and configure the network manually.
‣
If you want to configure a static address, then click Cancel at the dialog after the
DHCP configuration completes to restart the network configuration steps.
‣
If you need to select a different network interface, then click Cancel at the dialog
after the DHCP configuration completes to restart the network configuration steps.
