I configured a Mysql Flexible server and after adjusting the server parameters it tried to restart and stayed in this process for 40 minutes. I gave up and am setting up a new Mysql server. The first server I ordered to delete and has been stuck in this deletion process for 20 minutes. What to do? Will I be charged?
I created a Mysql Flexible Server with HA and when I changed the parameters it got stuck for hours in the reboot process. I tried to delete it and it didn't work. I ended up setting up a new Mysql server without HA and uploading the data. The server with HA was back up and running and the command to remove it was ignored. I thought about using this server with HA in production, but I tried to activate the Event Scheduler parameter and it spent hours displaying the deployment in progress message and did not make the change. The Scheduler Event parameter remains OFF. I wanted to use this server with HA but it is complicated. I'm going to put the second server I created without HA into production because on this one I was able to quickly activate the event scheduler without any problems.

Hi Alessandro Pinto •,
Thanks for sharing your observation with us.
We are sorry about the experience you had with set-up.
And glad to know that you are able to proceed with the new server.
In future, if you face such strange issue, please raise support case for deeper investigation in case if you don't have a support plan, do let us know here so that we can check on other options to unblock you.
Thanks.
You shouldn't be, as you issued the deletion command.
However, watch it and make sure it does actually delete, if something fails during the deletion process - then it may rollback to running again, you should see this in the activity log of that resource.
That was exactly what happened. It did not delete and the Mysql server became active again. Now I have 2 Mysql servers.
I'll try deleting it again, thanks.
Hi Alessandro Pinto •,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
As I understand, you want to know about Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server which is stuck and about it's billing.
Could you please check the current status of the Server using Azure Portal or Azure CLI?
Show database 'testDatabase' in the server 'testserver':
az mysql flexible-server db show --resource-group testGroup --server-name testserver --database-name testDatabase
Again, try to delete:
az mysql flexible-server delete --resource-group testGroup --name testserver
Also note that Start/Stop operation is Not supported with read replica configurations (both source and replicas).
This could be a transient issue as there could be internal management jobs happening on the server.
If your server is still stuck and you could not create a new one, I would recommend you to please file a support ticket for deeper investigation and in case if you don't have a support plan, do let us know here so that we can check on other options to unblock you.
Thanks
