Changes images for one or more cloud desktops.

Description

Before you change the image of a cloud desktop, take note of the following limits:

  • You can select the OS of an image during image change. However, this operation is unavailable in the following regions: China (Hong Kong), Australia (Sydney), Singapore (Singapore), and Japan (Tokyo).
  • Image change between GPU and non-GPU images is not supported. If a cloud desktop is of the Graphics type, you can use only a GPU image. If the cloud desktop is of a non-Graphics type, you can use only a non-GPU image.

After you change the image of the cloud desktop, the system uses the new image to initialize the system disk of the cloud desktop. Take note of the following impacts:

  • The system deletes data from the original system disk. The snapshots that are created from the original system disk of the cloud desktop become unavailable and are automatically deleted.
  • If you change the OS of the image, the system deletes data from the original data disk of the cloud desktop. The system also deletes snapshots that are created from the original data disk of the cloud desktop because original snapshots become unavailable. If you do not change the OS of the image, data on the original data disk is retained, and snapshots that are created from the data disk are still available.
