The Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server in the East US region is currently stuck in the Starting state. Attempts to restart it using the Azure CLI have been unsuccessful. No recent changes were made to the database, and restoring is not preferred.
The command used was:
az postgres flexible-server restart \
--resource-group <resource_group> \
--name <server>
The response was:
(SeverBusyWithOtherOperation) Cannot perform 'Restart' server operation because server 'main-server' is busy processing other operation.
Code: SeverBusyWithOtherOperation
Message: Cannot perform 'Restart' server operation because server 'main-server' is busy processing other operation.
Is there a method to restart the database and bring it back online?
