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

When you create an ECS or change the OS of an existing ECS, some of your private images are not shown. One possible cause is that the x86 and Arm architectures are incompatible with each other, or that there is an incompatibility issue between UEFI and BIOS boot modes.

  • If a private image is created from an x86 ECS or if you use an external image file to create an image and select x86, this image will not be available as a choice when you create an ARM (Kunpeng) ECS or change the OS of an ARM (Kunpeng) ECS. Likewise, if the image is configured for ARM, it will not be available as a choice when you create an x86 ECS or change the OS of an x86 ECS.
  • If a private image is created from an ECS configured for BIOS boot or if you use an external image file to create such an image, this image will not be available as a choice when you create an ECS configured for UEFI boot or change the OS of an ECS booted from UEFI. Likewise, images configured for UEFI will not be available as a choice when you create an ECS configured for BIOS boot or change the OS of an ECS booted from BIOS.
