I have a Dell R760 + A100X and another Dell R760, as shown in the figure below.
I am trying to connect the two R760s by linking the NIC of the A100X and the NIC of the other R760 using a 200GbE cable.
In this setup, I plan to use the R760 + A100X as the DU and the other R760 as the RU emulator.
I have reviewed both the 24-3 and 24-1 guides, but proceeded with the installation based on the Rel-24.1 Installation Guide, which is tailored for the R750.
However, I noticed that in Rel-24.1, the instructions suggest using Grace Hopper as the DU and the R760 as the RU emulator.
Upon comparing “Installing Tools on Grace Hopper MGX System” and “Installing Tools on Dell R750”, I found no significant differences between the two.
Given that I am using two R760 systems, I would like to ask for clarification: Should I follow the “Installing Tools on Grace Hopper MGX System” guide for the R760 (DU) and the “Installing Tools on Dell R750” guide for the R760 (RU)?
Or should I follow the “Installing Tools on Dell R750” guide for both systems?
You can follow the instructions for R750 for both systems.
Please note that x86 based DU is not supported in recent releases of Aerial.
This does not mean that your system will not work but the performance and functionality will be different than what we observe with the GH based systems.
Thank you for your reply. I have a follow-up question.
Do I need to install the aerial-cuBB container version that exactly matches the version of the Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN stack?
Are the versions of Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN and aerial-cuBB always updated together?
Or are they maintained and updated independently on separate schedules?
I’d appreciate some clarification on how tightly these version numbers are coupled.
