Image compatibility

Last updated View as Markdown

Use cases

Image compatibility compares system requirements with the current configuration. The check prevents instances that lack required CPU, memory, or disk.

Before you begin

When a message appears, review the image minimums. Select Adjust configuration to increase resources, or View compatible images to choose a recommended image.

Page fields

Check Resolution
Disk too small Increase the system disk or choose another image
Memory too small Select a larger memory shape
CPU architecture Select an image for the current architecture

Procedure

  1. Log in to the dashboard and open Compute.
  2. Open the instance, network, image, or operations page for this topic.
  3. Select the target resource and confirm its state and space.
  4. Complete the fields and submit the action.
  5. Open work requests or details to confirm the final state.

States and troubleshooting

  • Action unavailable: check resource state, role permissions, and project quota.
  • Target missing: clear filters and confirm region and space.
  • Processing takes too long: open the work request and record its ID and latest error.
  • Action failed: keep the original resource state, correct the message, and retry.
