Unable to queue operation

If you see an error similar to the following when attempting to update an instance:

ERROR: (gcloud.lustre.instances.update) ABORTED: unable to queue the operation

This error occurs when you attempt to start an operation while another operation of the same type is already in progress on the same instance. Managed Lustre allows one active update per instance at a time, and allows an additional update operation to be queued.

To resolve this issue, wait for the current operation to complete before starting a new one.

Google Cloud console

  1. Go to the Managed Lustre page in the Google Cloud console.

    Go to Managed Lustre

  2. Select the three-dot menu next to the instance to delete.

gcloud CLI

Use the gcloud lustre instances delete command:

gcloud lustre instances delete INSTANCE_NAME --location=LOCATION

You are prompted to confirm deletion. Type Y or press enter to continue.

Tip: Specifying the --quiet or -q flag with the command skips the interactive confirmation requirement.

DELETE https://lustre.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/ZONE/instances/INSTANCE_NAME
Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]
