Changing ECS Names

Scenarios

After an ECS is created, you can change its name as needed.

Multiple ECS names can be changed in a batch. After the change, the ECS names are the same.

Changing the Name of a Single ECS

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click . Under Compute, click Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. Move the cursor to the target ECS name/ID.
  5. On the ECS details page, click next to the ECS name and edit the name.

    Allow duplicate name: allows ECS names to be duplicate. If Allow duplicate name is not selected and the new name you configure is the same as an existing ECS name, the system displays a message indicating that the name has been used and you need to change it to another name.
