Optimization Process

An ECS can run properly only after Xen Guest OS drivers (PV drivers) and KVM Guest OS drivers (VirtIO drivers) are installed on it. To ensure that ECSs support both Xen and KVM and to improve network performance, PV and VirtIO drivers must be installed for the image.

  1. Create an ECS from the Windows private image to be optimized and log in to the ECS.
  2. Install the latest version of PV drivers on the ECS.

    For details, see Installing PV Drivers.

  3. Install VirtIO drivers that are needed to create KVM ECSs.

    For details, see Installing VirtIO Drivers.

  4. On the ECS, choose Control Panel > Power Options. Click Choose when to turn off the display, select Never for Turn off the display, and save the changes.
  5. Clear system logs and then stop the ECS.

    For details, see Clearing System Logs.

  6. Create a Windows private image from the ECS.
