I am trying to shelve a server but the process seems to be stuck in shelving_image_pending_upload state.
is it normal for the shelve process to take several hours?
Well, it's trying to snapshot the server's root disk and upload the snapshot image to glance. Have you debugged to determine if it's doing a live snapshot or a cold snapshot - the libvirt driver should log something about that. Do the compute logs say that it's uploading the image? Are there errors or anything else in the glance logs? I'm not sure if there is a hard timeout on the actual image upload itself, but the user token would eventually timeout and should trigger a failure (unless you've configured service user tokens [1]).
