OpenShift - Pod stuck Terminating

Updated:   |  OpenShift articles

If you are not familiar with the oc command, refer to OpenShift - Getting Started with the oc command.

Let's say the oc get pods command shows a pod stuck "Terminating".

~]# oc get pods
NAME         READY   STATUS         RESTARTS  AGE
foo-9mzm2    1/1     Running        0         8d
foo-vmzmz    1/1     Terminating    37        30m
bar-pflxc    1/1     Running        0         8d

 

Use the oc describe pod command to see if there are events that explain why the pod is stuck Terminating. Something like this could be returned.

~]# oc describe pod foo-vmzmz
Events:
  Type     Reason     Age                  From                 Message

The oc delete pod command can be used to try to delete the pod. When a pod is stuck Terminating, this command usually hangs indefinitely and the pod remains stuck in a Terminating state.

~]# oc delete pod foo-vmzmz

 

If the prior command hangs, you can try with the --force flag and the --grace-period=0 option.

~]# oc delete pod foo-vmzmz --force --grace-period=0
warning: Immediate deletion does not wait for confirmation that the running resource has been terminated. The resource may continue to run on the cluster indefinitely.
pod "foo-vmzmz" force deleted
