Appendix A. Installing Software on Air-
For security purposes, some installations require that systems be isolated from the internet
or outside networks. Since most DGX A100 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 also includes a process for
installing Docker containers.
A.1. Installing NVDIA DGX A100 Software
There are two ways to install DGX A100 software on an air-gapped DGX A100 system.
One method to update DGX A100 software on an air-gapped DGX A100 system is to download
the ISO image, copy it to removable media, and reimage the DGX A100 System 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 A100 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.
A.2. Reimaging the System
Here is some information about how you can reimage your DGX A100 system.
CAUTION: This process destroys all data and software customizations that you have made on
the DGX A100 System. 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.
1. Obtain the ISO image from the NVIDIA Enterprise Services.
a). a Log in to the
the DGX OS Server image ISO file.
b). Download the image ISO file.
2. 2. Refer to the instructions in the Restoring the DGX A100 Software Image for additional
instructions.
