Introduction

This guide contains information necessary to maintain a Virtual Cluster as deployed by Schrödinger, LLC. This guide is meant to help IT personnel to perform common maintenance and monitoring tasks for the Virtual Cluster. Performing these tasks requires some general IT knowledge such as how to use a terminal and often requires administrative access to the Virtual Cluster. It is strongly recommended that administrative operations on the Virtual Cluster are only performed by experienced administrators.

Warning

Performing tasks other than the ones mentioned in this guide with administrative privileges can damage the Virtual Cluster. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with the Schrödinger support team before executing commands not mentioned in this guide and before changing the configuration of the Virtual Cluster.

If in doubt, consider creating a snapshot of an instance before applying a critical change. Consult the documentation of your resource provider to find out how to create snapshots of instances.
