Question 600

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together. Which THREE elements together establish the appropriate corrective action, independent test evidence and verified successful outcome? Select THREE answers.

  1. Use NVIDIA-supported OFED or DOCA-host and driver packages and verify host-DPU compatibility before promotion.
  2. Inspect module binding, driver versions, dmesg, Secure Boot signatures and a CUDA device-query test.
  3. Install the supported BCM head-node services and preserve configuration data before provisioning and accepting workers.
  4. Review driver package versions, RDMA verbs devices, BlueField firmware, module logs and network tests.
  5. Required RDMA and DOCA capabilities operate on canary and production nodes without incompatible modules.
  6. Treat the successful installation of a DOCA package as conclusive proof that every network and offload function works.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This is an appropriate correction for DOCA host networking and RDMA driver stack: Use NVIDIA-supported OFED or DOCA-host and driver packages and verify host-DPU compatibility before promotion. Observed scenario: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together. The governing mechanism is: High-speed host networking requires matching kernel, firmware, provider libraries and DPU service interfaces.

D:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Review driver package versions, RDMA verbs devices, BlueField firmware, module logs and network tests. Observed scenario: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together. The governing mechanism is: High-speed host networking requires matching kernel, firmware, provider libraries and DPU service interfaces.

E:

This is an observable verified result, not merely a claimed configuration change: Required RDMA and DOCA capabilities operate on canary and production nodes without incompatible modules. Observed scenario: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This alternative is relevant to GPU driver modules and DKMS lifecycle but does not directly resolve the current DOCA host networking and RDMA driver stack issue: Inspect module binding, driver versions, dmesg, Secure Boot signatures and a CUDA device-query test. Observed scenario: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together.

C:

That option concerns Base Command Manager head-node installation. High-speed host networking requires matching kernel, firmware, provider libraries and DPU service interfaces.

F:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for DOCA host networking and RDMA driver stack: Treat the successful installation of a DOCA package as conclusive proof that every network and offload function works. Observed scenario: A cluster-wide driver update disrupts RDMA traffic because host and DPU software were not tested together. The governing mechanism is: High-speed host networking requires matching kernel, firmware, provider libraries and DPU service interfaces. The proportionate action is: Use NVIDIA-supported OFED or DOCA-host and driver packages and verify host-DPU compatibility before promotion. A direct check is: Review driver package versions, RDMA verbs devices, BlueField firmware, module logs and network tests. The acceptance condition is: Required RDMA and DOCA capabilities operate on canary and production nodes without incompatible modules.

Question 601

Question 602

In a professional AI infrastructure deployment, a technician observes: An automation worker invokes the NGC CLI but the required executable is absent from its image. Which underlying infrastructure principle BEST explains the issue? Select ONE best answer.
