Operate NVIDIA DOCA Management Service (`dmsd` + `dmspe`) on a BlueField, Arm/x86 host, or Kubernetes pod: choose deployment and authentication, configure `-allowed_users` and `dmsgroup`, use gNMI Get/Set/Subscribe, run supported gNOI workflows, and debug frontend/backend failures. Trigger even without "DMS" for "manage a remote BlueField over gRPC", "gNOI reboot from orchestrator", or fleet-management requests. SAFETY: reboot, OS install, factory-reset, and managed-file deletion are destructive and require target-bound explicit confirmation; never invoke them speculatively. Route installation and library/API build questions elsewhere, and route turnkey aggregation to the externally-productized DOCA Telemetry Service.

Description: <br>

Operate NVIDIA DOCA Management Service (dmsd + dmspe) on a BlueField, Arm/x86 host, or Kubernetes pod: choose deployment and authentication, configure -allowed_users and dmsgroup, use gNMI Get/Set/Subscribe, run supported gNOI workflows, and debug frontend/backend failures. <br>

Owner

NVIDIA <br>

License/Terms of Use: <br>

Apache 2.0 AND CC-BY-4.0 <br>

Use Case: <br>

External operators and platform teams who deploy and operate NVIDIA DOCA Management Service to manage NVIDIA BlueField networking platforms or ConnectX SmartNICs from a centralized control plane — choosing deployment shape, configuring authentication, issuing gNMI/gNOI requests, and debugging service errors. <br>

Deployment Geography for Use: <br>

Global <br>

Requirements / Dependencies: <br>

Requires API Key or External Credential: [No] <br> Credential Type(s): [None] <br>

Do not include secrets in prompts/logs/output; use least-privilege credentials; rotate keys as appropriate. <br>

Known Risks and Mitigations: <br>

Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills. <br> Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment. <br>

Evaluation Agents Used: <br>

  • Claude Code (aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8) <br>
  • Codex (openai/openai/gpt-5.5) <br>

Evaluation Tasks: <br>

Evaluated against 4 evaluation tasks (3 positive skill-activation, 1 negative) using the external Skill Evaluator profile in k8s-sandbox environment. <br>

Evaluation Metrics Used: <br>

Reported benchmark dimensions: <br>

  • Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access. <br>
  • Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output. <br>
  • Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant. <br>
  • Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it. <br>
  • Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work. <br>

Underlying evaluation signals used in this run: <br>

  • security: Checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access. <br>
  • skill_execution: Verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow. <br>
  • skill_efficiency: Checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage. <br>
  • accuracy: Grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer. <br>
  • goal_accuracy: Checks whether the overall user task completed successfully. <br>
  • behavior_check: Verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations. <br>

Evaluation Results: <br>

compatibility
DOCA service shipped with the DOCA install at /opt/mellanox/doca on the management endpoint (x86 host (non-DPU), BlueField Arm, or Kubernetes pod) on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or RHEL/SLES); `dmsd` + `dmspe` run there, and DMS is also pulled as an NGC container image. Verify the public DMS guide version matches the installed DOCA release before quoting flags or YANG paths.
