A.3.2. Configuring the Target Air-Gapped DGX OS 4
System
The instructions in this section are to be performed on the target air-gapped DGX system.
Here are the prerequisites:
‣
The target air-gapped DGX system is installed, has gone through the first boot process,
and is ready to be updated with the latest packages.
‣
The USB storage device on which the mirrors were created is attached to the target DGX
system.
There are other ways to transfer the data that are not covered in this document as they will
depend on the data center policies for the air-gapped environment.
1. Mount the storage device on the air-gapped system to /media/usb/repository for
consistency.
2. Configure the apt (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/apt.8.html)
command to use the file system as the repository in the file /etc/apt/sources.list by
modifying the following lines.
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-
security main
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-
security universe
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-
security multiverse
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main
multiverse universe
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates
main multiverse universe
3. Configure apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS packages in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
dgx.list.
deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/international.download.nvidia.com/dgx/
repos/bionic bionic main multiverse restricted universe
4. If present, remove the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list as it is no longer
needed and removing it will eliminate error messages during the update process.
5. (For DGX OS Release 4.1 and later only) Configure apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS
packages in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r418-cuda10-1-
repo.list.
$ echo "deb file:///media/usb/repository/mirror/international.download.nvidia.com/dgx/
repos/bionic/ bionic-r418+cuda10.1 main multiverse restricted universe" | sudo tee /etc/
apt/sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r418-cuda10-1-repo.list
6. Optional: (For DGX OS Release 4.5 and later only) If you want to use the R450 NVIDIA
graphics driver and CUDA Toolkit 11.0, configure apt to use the NVIDIA DGX OS packages
in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dgx-bionic-r450-cuda11-0-repo.list.
