The initial setup of the DGX server was quite straightforward. We treated it like any other server during deployment. It went to the data center, where they set it up, placed it in the rack, and enabled it. The deployment process was familiar, using our standard tools like Foreman and Ansible. Since the operating system is supported, we didn't encounter any specific challenges. For deploying the DGX server, we typically need two people for software tasks and sometimes vendor assistance for hardware setup. The process takes about four hours, with NVIDIA firmware updates taking the most time (around two hours), and the rest dedicated to OS and Ansible deployment. Maintaining the DGX server is pretty straightforward. We treat it like any other server, with around 10% downtime, while the rest of the cluster remains up.
