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

The console displays the ECS image name rather than the OS name.

Figure 1 Image name
  • 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 is displayed on the ECS console.

    To display the OS name of the source server on the ECS console, prepare an image named after the source server OS, create an ECS using that image, and use that ECS as the target server.
