Question 1

A systems administrator is preparing a new DGX server for deployment. What is the most secure approach to configuring the BMC port during initial setup?

  1. Option A:
    Enable remote access to the BMC over the internet using the default admin credentials for initial troubleshooting.
  2. Option B:
    Connect the BMC port directly to the production network and retain default admin credentials for convenience.
  3. Option C:
    Leave the BMC port disconnected until after the operating system is fully configured and in production.
  4. Option D:
    Connect the BMC port to a dedicated and firewalled network and change the default admin credentials.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a powerful tool that allows for total control over the DGX system, including the ability to flash firmware, cycle power, and access the serial console. Because of this, it is a high-value target for security threats. The " 100% verified " secure approach (Option D) involves two critical layers:
Network Isolation: The BMC port should never be exposed to the public internet (Option A) or even the general production network (Option B). It must reside on a dedicated Out-of-Band (OOB) network that is firewalled and accessible only to authorized administrators.
Credential Management: Standard NVIDIA factory defaults (like admin/admin) must be changed immediately upon first access. As part of the DGX first-boot wizard, the system prompts the administrator to create a strong, unique password for the primary user, which is then synchronized to the BMC.
Leaving the port disconnected (Option C) is unfeasible for modern data center operations, as the BMC is required for remote monitoring and " headless " deployment. Following the isolated/firewalled approach ensures the AI Factory remains resilient against both external attacks and internal lateral movement.

Question 2 (choose 2)

A team is installing the NVIDIA Run:ai control plane on a Kubernetes cluster. Which two (2) options are most critical to validate before proceeding? (Pick the 2 correct responses below)

  1. Option A:
    Helm is installed on the installer machine.
  2. Option B:
    Ensure Kubernetes is running on the cluster.
  3. Option C:
    All cluster nodes have NVIDIA GPUs installed.
  4. Option D:
    NTP is disabled to simplify time synchronization.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A, B

NVIDIA Run:ai is an advanced orchestration platform designed to optimize GPU resource allocation within Kubernetes environments. Because Run:ai is cloud-native, its control plane and worker agents are deployed as Kubernetes resources. Therefore, the absolute first prerequisite is a running Kubernetes cluster (Option B) to host the services. Secondly, Run:ai utilizes Helm, the package manager for Kubernetes, to manage its complex installation charts, deployments, and service configurations. Without Helm installed on the administrative machine (Option A), the installation scripts will fail to execute. While having GPUs (Option C) is the ultimate goal for the worker nodes, the control plane itself can be installed on a cluster before all GPU hardware is physically present. Disabling NTP (Option D) is never recommended; in fact, accurate time synchronization is vital for the TLS certificates and logging used by Run:ai and Kubernetes.
