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.

Notes

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

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console and go to the ECS console.
2. Locate the row containing the target ECS and choose More > Buy Same ECS in the Operation column.

   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 need to 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.
   • Configure EIP if required because it is set to Not required by default.
