| Linux Transition Host Image | Automatic upload | This image is used for disaster recovery drill and recovery. If the cloud platform does not support uploading custom images, users need to manually upload and select images and download images manually. |
| Windows Transition Host Image | Windows Server-2019-XXXXXXXXXXXXX | Please select a 64-bit image of Windows Server 2019/2016. Main functions of this image: 1. Converts Windows UEFI boot mode to BIOS boot mode. 2. Adapts drivers during the boot process. 3. Creates disk types that meet cloud platform requirements during the boot process. If you cannot find this version in the public, private, or shared image repositories, you can resolve it by following these steps: 1. Upload to the Private Image Repository: Upload the image file to object storage and then import it from object storage into the private image repository. 2. Obtain a Shared Image: If another account in the same region has the mentioned Windows version, you can request them to share it with you for use. |
