A new node must join a BCM category. What does this give it?
Why A is the answer
The category's shared settings
Categories apply common configuration.
In detail
- Categories apply common configuration.
- Change the category to change the group.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A new node joins a category, and it inherits the shared settings.
See it in different ways

sequenceDiagram participant H as Head node participant I as Software image participant C as Category participant N as Compute nodes H->>I: Holds the OS image I->>C: Assigned to a category C->>N: Nodes boot and provision H->>N: Updates when the image changes

Key point: Categories apply shared settings.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. A new InfiniBand subnet
- That is about InfiniBand.
- C. A new NGC account
- That is about accounts.
- D. A new GPU
- That is hardware.
