AKS Starting issues

Question

After aks stop and starting time we are getting below issue.

Operation failed with status: 'Bad Request'. Details: managed cluster is in Provisioning State(Stopping) and Power State(Stopped), starting cannot be performed

Suggest me on this to resolve the issue.

Answer 1

Hello @Ashok Reddy ,
It seems cluster was stuck in "Stopping" state. Did you try to STOP and immediately trying to START the cluster ?
Are you still not able to start the cluster yet ?
Can you check the current provisioning state of the AKS cluster from Azure Portal ?
Also check VMSS instances (If the cluster is stopped , you should not see any running instances under VMSS).

Can you check if you are able to run kubectl commands ?
Is this the private cluster ?

If you are still seeing the issue , try to run the below command:
az resource update -n <aks cluster name> -g <rgname> --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService --resource-type ManagedClusters

Regards,
Shiva.

Answer 2

Hi @shiva patpi , I am getting the same error.

The current state of the cluster in the portal is: Stopping (Stopped)
VMSS instance shows 0 nodes and succeeded state
I Cannot run kubectl commands

running the suggested command gives me:
Message: An error has occurred in subscription 8a******redacted*****, resourceGroup: ****redacted*****-rg request: Managed Cluster is not running, no operations are allowed.

our cluster has not been stopped / immediately started we attempted to stop at 22:00 BST yesterday which timed out after an hour and getting the above error this morning when attempting to start

Answer 3

Yes, I am starting immediately cluster after stop. After couple of minutes its started as expected.

Thank You...
