How to cancel Nutanix Move Stuck Job

As all we know Nutanix Move is the great tool to migration Workload from Hyper-V, VMware and AWS to Nutanix AHV. Recently during one of migration project I faced once issue, One of the Migration Job stuck and I tried to abort the job from GUI but unable to do that. Below is the solution which I tried and its works.

login to Nutanix MOVE VM from Console/SSH

User: admin

Password: Default password (Nutanix/4u)

Type RS and enter

Now you have Elevated access on OS like a Root User. Connect to POSTGree database

STEP 1:Open Postgres-shell

Postgres-shell

psql -d datamover

STEP 2: List available Migration Plan with using below command

select mpuuid,name from migrationplans;

Step 2: locate the migratoinplan and the run below last command to delete the migrationplans (Replace ID with desire migration mpuuid you get from Step 2)

delete from migrationplans where mpuuid=’ID’;

Hopes its work

Attention: Above mention commands are irreversible, use it carefully if you are not confident better open the support case with Nutanix Support / local Nutanix Partner.
