Question 570
During a security and capacity review at a financial analytics firm, engineers report the following issue: A compatibility issue affects only the nodes running an older GPU driver. The affected work supports risk scoring and historical-data models; traceable controls and predictable throughput are required. Select TWO: the most appropriate action and the strongest verification of that action. (Select TWO.)
Explanation
Correct Answers
Correct corrective action. Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation. This fits the specific reported issue: A compatibility issue affects only the nodes running an older GPU driver. The corresponding failure being reduced is: Inconsistent hardware or firmware versions across nodes can create hard-to-reproduce performance and compatibility failures.
Correct independent evidence. A sampled node's actual firmware, GPU, driver and fabric settings match the approved inventory or show a tracked exception. This verifies the corrective approach for the affected risk scoring and historical-data models instead of treating an architecture diagram alone as success.
Incorrect Answers
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Use NVIDIA Data Center GPU Manager to collect supported accelerator telemetry, health and diagnostic information across datacenter GPU nodes. This choice concerns nvidia dcgm gpu fleet diagnostics and health and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A compatibility issue affects only the nodes running an older GPU driver', which calls for reasoning about cluster inventory firmware and configuration baseline. The targeted response is: Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. A point-in-time inspection identifies the correct GPU and active process, memory and temperature state corresponding to the reported issue. This choice concerns nvidia-smi point-in-time gpu operational checks and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A compatibility issue affects only the nodes running an older GPU driver', which calls for reasoning about cluster inventory firmware and configuration baseline. The targeted response is: Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
Not the most direct the action-and-evidence pair for these facts. Compare supported vGPU or time-sliced sharing, passthrough and MIG-backed virtualization according to VM isolation, licensing, performance and hardware support requirements. This choice concerns virtual gpus and gpu sharing approaches and may be valid in another design. But this case reports 'A compatibility issue affects only the nodes running an older GPU driver', which calls for reasoning about cluster inventory firmware and configuration baseline. The targeted response is: Maintain an inventory of GPU systems, drivers, firmware, network devices and approved configuration versions with controlled rollout and reconciliation.
