GCP Error disabling a hybrid partner interconnect

Question

I am trying to create a hybrid partner interconnect with Equinix as the partner using the GCP REST API. I have done this successfully many times using the the same process that I used this time.

This time, when I created the hybrid interconnects using the REST API, I could create the primary and secondary interconnects, their corresponding connections on the partner side, and attach them to a cloud router as usual. However, the redundant secondary interconnect was stuck in "Waiting for partner".

I didn't bother configuring BGP routing for the primary and started deleting the interconnects using the GCP console so that I could try again.

I could delete both connections on the Equinix side and the secondary interconnect on the GCP side successfully, but I can't disable/delete the primary interconnect.

I get an error that "The resource 'projects/xxxx/regions/us-west1/interconnectAttachments/xxxx' is not ready".

Has anybody seen this happen? How do I delete this interconnect?

Thanks, Venu

Answer 1

Usually a common cause of this error is that the VLAN didn't get fully set up and it stays in a pending status, so it isn't allowed to be deleted;

If everything is/was correctly deleted, this could be a propagation delay on the backend server. I would give a 24-48h, if the interconnect is not deleted, I would try again.

From that point, if this doesn't resolve the issue, you should reach out to GCP support if you have a support package.

Or

You can reach out to your Partner and ask them to investigate this issue.
