Question 490

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Check HA roles, sync status, virtual management endpoint, database replication and isolation tests.
  2. Equate package installation success with a working signed GPU driver for any arbitrary Linux kernel.
  3. Use the supported OS, kernel and package combination and validate driver modules on a representative node before rollout.
  4. Enforce individual authenticated host access, network restrictions and tested key rotation with accountable emergency recovery.
  5. Inspect kernel version, signed modules, driver logs, package provenance and canary compatibility tests.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

This is an appropriate correction for Linux operating system and kernel module support: Use the supported OS, kernel and package combination and validate driver modules on a representative node before rollout. Observed scenario: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary. The governing mechanism is: Accelerator and fabric software are kernel-dependent; a generic successful Linux boot does not establish full GPU readiness.

E:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect kernel version, signed modules, driver logs, package provenance and canary compatibility tests. Observed scenario: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative is relevant to BCM high availability and management failover but does not directly resolve the current Linux operating system and kernel module support issue: Check HA roles, sync status, virtual management endpoint, database replication and isolation tests. Observed scenario: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary.

B:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for Linux operating system and kernel module support: Equate package installation success with a working signed GPU driver for any arbitrary Linux kernel. A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary. Accelerator and fabric software are kernel-dependent; a generic successful Linux boot does not establish full GPU readiness.

D:

This alternative is relevant to Host SSH certificates keys and OS access segregation but does not directly resolve the current Linux operating system and kernel module support issue: Enforce individual authenticated host access, network restrictions and tested key rotation with accountable emergency recovery. Observed scenario: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary.

Question 491

A production GPU cluster review identifies this condition: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary. Which diagnostic evidence should be obtained FIRST to substantiate the likely fault or configuration gap? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Review slurm.conf, controller health, partition listings, node state and a submitted sample job.
  2. Equate package installation success with a working signed GPU driver for any arbitrary Linux kernel.

Question 492

In a professional AI infrastructure deployment, a technician observes: A security team forces an emergency kernel update without testing network RDMA and GPU support on a canary. After corrective work, which observable result BEST confirms that the requirement is met? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Equate package installation success with a working signed GPU driver for any arbitrary Linux kernel.
  2. New and restarted nodes load the intended GPU and fabric drivers and pass required cluster smoke tests.
