Registering an ISO File (Windows)¶
Scenarios¶
This section describes how to register an external ISO file as a private image (ISO image) on the cloud platform. Before registering an image, upload the ISO image file to an OBS bucket.
Prerequisite¶
The file to be registered must be in ISO format.
The ISO image file has been uploaded to an OBS bucket.
Note
The name of the ISO image file can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). If the name does not meet requirements, change it.
Procedure¶
Access the IMS console.
Log in to the management console.
Under Compute, click Image Management Service.
The IMS console is displayed.
Register an ISO file as an ISO image.
Click Create Image in the upper right corner.
In the Image Type and Source area, select ISO image for Type.
In the image file list, select the bucket and then the image file.
In the Image Information area, set the following parameters.
Boot Mode: Select BIOS or UEFI. Ensure that the selected boot mode is the same as that in the image file, or the ECSs created from this image will not be able to boot up.
OS: Select the OS specified in the ISO file. To ensure that the image can be created and used properly, select an OS consistent with that in the image file.
System Disk: Set the system disk capacity (value range: 40 GB to 1024 GB), which must be no less than the size of the system disk in the image file.
Name: Enter a name for the image to be created.
Enterprise Project: Select the enterprise project to which your images belong.
Tag: (Optional) Add a tag to the image to be created.
Description: (Optional) Enter image description as needed.
Click Create Now.
Confirm the settings and click Submit.
Switch back to the Image Management Service page to monitor the image status.
When the image status changes to Normal, the image is registered successfully.
