Cannot take a backup in Oracle KVM environment - Queued status stuck

isaygili

Hello, for my Oracle KVM environment (ovirt), I defined the bare minimums for a test VM backup. But the backup job does not proceed and the Backup task itself, as well as its export sub-task gets stuck in Queued status.

I took a look at the logs, but could not find anything worth noting. How can I troubleshoot the problem?

I am sorry for late resposne.

Hello,
If a backup is stuck in "Queued" status in an Oracle KVM environment, try the following:

Check the storage and network connections for any issues.
Restart the backup service or process.
Verify there are no resource limitations (e.g., CPU, memory) affecting the backup.
Review logs for any errors or warnings related to the queued status.
If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Oracle support for further troubleshooting.

If you're unable to take a backup in an Oracle KVM environment and the status is stuck in "Queued," it could be due to resource contention, network issues, or a problem with the backup software. Try restarting the backup process, checking system resources, ensuring there are no network disruptions, and verifying the backup configuration. If the issue persists, reviewing logs or contacting support for further diagnosis might be necessary.
