Azure postgresql server getting stuck

Question

My Azure PostgreSQL managed database server is stuck. I tried connecting to it, but it didn't work. When I attempted to restart the server, I received the error: "The server is currently in 'restarting' state. Please wait for the operation to complete. You can refresh to check status. Reach out to Microsoft support if the operation is taking too long." What should I do now?

Hi Mr Subbato,

First, try to completely stop the service and wait 10 minutes and then start it. If this doesn't work I would recommend creating a ticket with Azure Support if it is still stuck:

Hi @MR Subbato

Try restarting the server using the Azure CLI or portal. This can sometimes resolve issues with stuck updates.

If your server is reaching resource limits (CPU, memory, IOPS), it can cause updates to hang. Check the resource usage and consider scaling up if necessary.

You can wait for sometimes because it might be resolved itself or as suggested above, please open a support ticket.

Thank You.
