Why Is the OS Name of the Target ECS Displayed on the ECS Console Different from That of the Source Server?

It is the name of the image used for creating the ECS rather than the ECS OS that is displayed on the ECS console.

  • If you use an existing ECS as the target server, the name of the image used to create the ECS is displayed on the ECS console.
  • If you choose to automatically create an ECS as the target server, the name of the public image selected by SMS for the ECS is displayed on the ECS console.

    To display the same OS name as the source server on the ECS console, create an ECS using an image whose name is the same as the source server OS, and use this ECS as the target server.
