Post-Import Tasks for Linux Images

After you import a custom Linux-based image, do the following:

1. If you want to use the image on AMD or X6-based shapes, then add

the shapes to the image's list of compatible shapes.
2. Create an instance based on the custom image. For the image source,
select Custom Images, and then select the image that you imported.
3. Connect to the instance using SSH.
4. If the instance requires any remotely attached storage, such as block
volumes or file storage, then create and attach it. If you are
using iSCSI attachments, then refer to Recommended iSCSI Initiator
Parameters for Linux-based Images.
5. Create and attach any required secondary VNICs .
6. Test that all applications are working as expected.
7. Reset any services that were set to start manually.
8. If you enabled serial console access to the image, test it by creating a
serial console connection to the instance.

custom images.
