Creating a Windows ECS from an ISO Image

Scenarios

This section describes how to create an ECS from a registered ISO image.

Constraints

Dedicated Cloud (DeC) users cannot create ECSs from ISO images.

If the DeC service is enabled for a user in a specified region, the user will be a DeC user. For more information, see What Is DeC?

Procedure

1. Access the IMS console.
   1. Log in to the management console.
   2. Under Compute, click Image Management Service.

      The IMS console is displayed.

2. Use an ISO image to create a Windows ECS.
   1. Click the Private Images tab. Locate the row that contains the ISO image and click Create ECS in the Operation column.

      The created ECS is for temporary use only and needs to be deleted when you are finished with it. The system creates a pay-per-use ECS with fixed specifications. When you use the private image created from this ECS to create new ECSs, you can customize the specifications and billing mode then.

      

      If you are a DeC user, the Create ECS button in the Operation column will be unavailable for you because a DeC user cannot use an ISO image to create an ECS.

   2. Configure the ECS as prompted and click OK.

Follow-up Procedure

After the ECS is created, you can log in remotely to continue with OS and drivers installation.
