Cold Migrating an ECS

Function

  • An ECS deployed on a DeH can be migrated to another DeH.
  • An ECS deployed on a DeH can be migrated to a public resource pool.
  • An ECS deployed in a public resource pool can be migrated to a DeH.

This API is an asynchronous API. After the cold migration request is successfully delivered, a job ID is returned. This does not mean the cold migration is complete. You need to call the API by referring to Querying Task Execution Status to query the job status. The SUCCESS status indicates that the cold migration is successful.

If the migration does not cross NUMA nodes, the migration may fail due to insufficient resources on a single NUMA node.

Constraints

  • Currently, this API applies only to dedicated hosts.
  • Only a stopped ECS can be cold migrated.
  • Existing constraints of the native cold migration API are inherited.
