Purchasing the Same ECS

Scenarios

If you have bought an ECS and want to buy new ones with the same configuration, it is a good practice to use "Buy Same ECS" to rapidly buy the new ones.

Constraints

Large-memory ECSs do not support "Buy Same ECS".

Procedure

1. Log in to the ECS console and access the Elastic Cloud Server page.
2. Locate the row containing the target ECS and choose More > Buy Same ECS in the Operation column.
   Figure 1 Buying the same ECS
   

   The system switches to the Buy ECS page and automatically copies the parameter settings of the selected ECS.

3. Adjust the settings of the new ECSs as needed.

   For details about parameter settings, see Purchasing an ECS.

4. Confirm the ECS details, select the agreement, and click Create.
   

   For security purposes, you must manually configure some of the settings for the new ECSs, including:

   • Manually add data disks if the quantity of data disks needed exceeds 10.
   • Manually add NICs if the quantity of NICs needed exceeds 5.
   • Manually add security groups if the quantity of security groups needed exceeds 5.
   • Select a new data disk image if the disks of the source ECS are created using a data disk image.
   • If the source ECS is created from a full-ECS image, only the disks included in this image are displayed. Add disks if necessary.
   • Select Encryption if the disks of the source ECS have been encrypted.
   • Configure the functions in Advanced Options.
5. Click back to ECS list. You can view the created ECS on the ECS list page.

Follow-up Procedure

• Resetting the password

  If you set Login Mode to Set password later during the ECS creation, you can reset the password after creating the ECS.

  For details, see Resetting the Password for Logging In to an ECS on the ECS Console.

• Connecting to an ECS

  You can connect to an ECS in multiple ways. For details, see Login Overview (Windows) and Login Overview (Linux).

• Initializing an EVS data disk

  If you created a data disk when creating an ECS, initialize the data disk first before using it. For details, see Initializing Data Disks.
