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 a x86 ECS, this image will be invisible to you when you create an Arm (Kunpeng) ECS or change the OS of an Arm (Kunpeng) ECS, and vice versa.
  • If you use an external image file to create a private image and select the x86 architecture, this image will be invisible to you when you create an Arm (Kunpeng) ECS or change the OS of an Arm (Kunpeng) ECS, and vice versa.
  • If a private image is created from an ECS in BIOS boot mode, this image will be invisible to you when you create an ECS in UEFI boot mode or change the OS of an ECS in UEFI boot mode, and vice versa.
  • If you use an external image file to create a private image and select the BIOS boot mode, this image will be invisible to you when you create an ECS in UEFI boot mode or change the OS of an ECS in UEFI boot mode, and vice versa.
