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.

  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. Click the name of the target ECS.
  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.
