Question 240
During a GPU datacenter maintenance window, an engineer discovers: A Linux host's root filesystem is nearly full because training datasets were written into the OS partition, and critical services fail during package updates. Which repeatable operational safeguard best prevents recurrence of this failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This preventive practice addresses the underlying failure (Uncontrolled AI workload data placement can disrupt host management independently of GPU compute health.) and supports continued assurance through: The OS update completes while bulk datasets remain accessible on the designated data mount without exhausting root capacity.
Incorrect Answers
This prevention control targets another operational risk: A fleet of GPU hosts uses manually customized operating system packages, making a failed driver upgrade impossible to reproduce or roll back consistently. The currently reported mechanism remains: Uncontrolled AI workload data placement can disrupt host management independently of GPU compute health.
This prevention control targets another operational risk: An engineer installs a generic OS image on newly delivered NVIDIA GPU nodes without verifying vendor-supported kernel, driver, and firmware compatibility. The currently reported mechanism remains: Uncontrolled AI workload data placement can disrupt host management independently of GPU compute health.
This prevention control targets another operational risk: Base Command Manager is installed on a management node but the cluster database is stored only on a single local disk, and leadership claims the control plane is highly available. The currently reported mechanism remains: Uncontrolled AI workload data placement can disrupt host management independently of GPU compute health.
