Starting and Stopping ECSs

Updated on 2025-01-02 GMT+08:00

You can start, stop, restart, unsubscribe, or delete the ECS.

  • To prevent a sudden load increase, you are advised to start or stop a small number of ECSs at a time.
  • If an ECS remains in the Restarting or Stopping state for a long time, you can forcibly restart or stop it. In such a case, any unsaved data on the ECS will be lost. Therefore, exercise caution when forcibly restarting or stopping an ECS.
NOTE:

For bare metal ECSs (with physical flavors), do not run commands such as shutdown, poweoff, or half in the OS because the commands may be invalid or the ECS may fail to be started after being stopped.

Starting ECSs

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select the target ECSs.
  5. Click Start in the upper left corner of the list.
  6. In the displayed window, click OK.
    NOTE:

    Contact the administrator if the ECS has been in the Starting state for more than 30 minutes.

Stopping ECSs

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select the target ECSs.
  5. Click Stop in the upper left corner of the list.
  6. In the displayed dialog box, select a stop option based on your service requirements.
    NOTICE:

    After an ECS is forcibly stopped, unsaved data on the ECS will be lost.

  7. Click OK to stop the ECSs.
    NOTE:

    Contact the administrator if the ECS has been in the Stopping state for more than 30 minutes.

Restarting ECSs

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select the target ECSs.
  5. Click Restart in the upper left corner of the list.
    NOTICE:

    After an ECS is forcibly restarted, unsaved data on the ECS will be lost.

  6. Click OK to stop the ECSs.
    NOTE:

    Contact the administrator if the ECS has been in the Restarting state for more than 30 minutes.

Deleting or Unsubscribing from ECSs

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
  3. Under Compute, select Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. In the ECS list, select the target ECSs.
  5. Choose More > Delete or More > Unsubscribe in the upper left corner of the list.
    • Delete a pay-per-use ECS.
      1. Select Delete the EIPs bound to the ECSs and Delete all data disks attached to the ECSs to delete the associated resources.
      2. Click Next to confirm the deletion.
      3. Click OK to complete the deletion.
    • Unsubscribe from a yearly/monthly ECS.
      1. Click OK to switch to the Unsubscribe page of the Billing Center.
      2. Select the resources to be unsubscribed from and the reason for unsubscription.
      3. Confirm the information and select After being unsubscribed from, the resource not in the recycle bin will be deleted immediately and cannot be restored. I have backed up data or no longer need the data.
      4. Click Unsubscribe and confirm the resources to be unsubscribed from.
      5. Click Unsubscribe again to unsubscribe from the yearly/monthly resources.
    NOTE:

    Contact the administrator if the ECS has been in the Deleting state for more than 30 minutes.
