Why Can't I Find an ISO Image When I Want to Use It to Create an ECS or Change the OS of an ECS?

  • An ISO image created from an ISO file is used only for creating a temporary ECS. It will not be available on the ECS console. You cannot use it to create ECSs or change ECS OSs. You need to install an OS on the temporary ECS and use that ECS to create a system disk image which can be used to create ECSs or change ECS OSs.
  • You are not advised to use a temporary ECS as a normal ECS because it has limited functionality. For example, disks cannot be attached to it.
