Question 950

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A new AI partition runs single-node diagnostics but no coordinated test of node-to-node readiness. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect ClusterKit test plan, selected node identities, deployment versions, per-node diagnostics and failures.
  2. Inspect GPU temperature and power traces, clock throttle reasons, error counters and completed stress duration.
  3. Mark a cluster fully validated solely because one representative server completed a local benchmark.
  4. Run supported ClusterKit or equivalent multifaceted qualification across the intended node set and preserve evidence.
  5. Validate intended inter-node RDMA devices, transport selection and network reachability with multi-node NCCL tests.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect ClusterKit test plan, selected node identities, deployment versions, per-node diagnostics and failures. Observed scenario: A new AI partition runs single-node diagnostics but no coordinated test of node-to-node readiness.

D:

This is an appropriate correction for ClusterKit multi-node qualification workflow: Run supported ClusterKit or equivalent multifaceted qualification across the intended node set and preserve evidence. Observed scenario: A new AI partition runs single-node diagnostics but no coordinated test of node-to-node readiness. The governing mechanism is: Cluster readiness is a multi-component property requiring simultaneous compute, host and network validation.
