# Server Image

Available in Classic

You can create an image of the server you're currently using to store the current state of the server, and then easily create a server with the same information using the saved server image. You can also share your server image with other accounts.

              Note

              

- Bare metal servers cannot use the server image creation function.
- Additional fees apply when you use the server image function. For more information on the pricing plan, see in the [Pricing information](https://www.ncloud.com/product/compute/server) portal.

- Before you create the server image, [Check the original server](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EC%9B%90%EB%B3%B8%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%A0%90%EA%B2%80Linux)
- After you check the original server, [Create server image](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EB%82%B4%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1)

## Check original server

Before you create the server image, you can check the errors of the original server. After you confirm there are no problems through Ncloud Tool Kit and manual check, create the server image.

### Checking the Ncloud Tool Kit

You can check errors through Ncloud Tool Kit.

- [1. Inspect Ncloud Tool Kit (Linux)](/docs/en/server-ts-ntk-lin-classic)
- [2. Inspect Ncloud Tool Kit (Windows)](/docs/en/server-ts-ntk-win-classic)

### Manual check

By inspecting the following items manually, you can check errors.

- [1. Check Xentools version and reinstall](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#1Xentools%EB%B2%84%EC%A0%84%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8%EB%B0%8F%EC%9E%AC%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98)
- [2. Check /etc/rc.local file (Linux)](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#2etcrclocal%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%BC%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8Linux)
- [3. Check /etc/fstab file (Linux)](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#3etcfstab%ED%8C%8C%EC%9D%BC%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8Linux)
- [4. Rebooting source server and checking status](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#4%EC%9B%90%EB%B3%B8%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9E%AC%EB%B6%80%ED%8C%85%ED%9B%84%EC%83%81%ED%83%9C%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8)

#### 1. Check Xentools version and reinstall

For more information, refer to the following guides.

- Linux: see [Reinstall Xentools (Linux)](/docs/en/server-ts-xen-lin-classic).
- Windows: see [Reinstall Xentools (Windows)](/docs/en/server-ts-xen-win-classic).

#### 2. Check /etc/rc.local file (Linux)

If the /etc/rc.local file is changed, an error may occur when creating My server image. Enter the following command to change the rc.local file.

```
#!/bin/bash

touch /var/lock/subsys/local/usr/local/etc/ncloud_auto.sh > 
/tmp/.ncloud_out.log 2> /tmp/.ncloud_error.log &
```

#### 3. Check /etc/fstab file (Linux)

An error may occur when creating the My server image due to /etc/fstab setting errors. For more information, see [Set auto mount (fstab)](/docs/en/server-ts-fstab-classic).

#### 4. Rebooting source server and checking status

Reboot the original server and check if the status of the original server changes to **Running**.

## Create My server image

You can create an image of the current status for a server you're using. Server information including OS, software, storage configuration is saved to the image.

              Caution

              

Created My server images are saved in a storage, and the storage fee is charged for the sum of the default storage capacity and added storage capacity of the server selected to create the image.

              Note

              

- You can only create the server image while the server is **Stopped** or **Running**. Check the original server before you create the server image. For more information about how to check the original server, see [Check the original server (Linux)](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EC%9B%90%EB%B3%B8%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%A0%90%EA%B2%80Linux).
- The larger the capacity of the additional disks and the more data they have, the longer it takes to create the server image. To shorten the time it takes to create a server image, remove additional disks before creating the image.

To create a server image, follow these steps:

1. In the Classic environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Server** menu.
3. From the server list, select the server to create the image from, and then click the **[Manage servers and change settings]** button.
4. Click **Create My server image**.
5. Enter the server image name, and then click the **[Create]** button.
  - You can enter server image names between 3-30 characters and they must begin with an English letter. Uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed.
  - The server image name can't be duplicated for use.
6. Check the popup message and click the **[OK]** button.
  - The server image is created.

              Note

              

- It may take several minutes or longer for the server image to be created. While creating the server image, the server status is displayed as **Replicating**, and once the image creation is complete, it is displayed again as **Running**.
- You can view the created server image from the **Server image** menu.
- If the original server check was performed, but an error occurred during server image creation or rebooting, you can force stop and force terminate it. For more information, see [Force stop and force terminate](/docs/en/server-ts-return-classic).

## Create server with My server image

You can create a server with the same information using the saved server image. To create the server using the server image, follow these steps:

1. In the Classic environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Server Image** menu.
3. Select a server image from the server image list, and then click the **[Create server]** button.
4. Depending on the use environment, proceed through the Set server step in order to complete the server creation.
  - For more information on how to create a server, see [Create server](/docs/en/server-create-classic).
  - When there's an added storage or when you create a server different to the original server, it may take some time to create the server.
  - You can view created servers in the **Server** menu.

## Replicate to another Region

To replicate the created My server image to another Region, follow these steps:

1. In the Classic environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Server Image** menu.
3. Select a server image from the server image list, and then click the **[Replicate to another Region]** button.
4. Enter the **Region** to save the replicated server image and the **new server image name** on the popup window, and then click the **[Create]** button.

              Note

              

- Replicating a server image to another Region could take several minutes to several hours, depending on the size.
- The server image that is being replicated to another Region cannot be deleted or canceled midway.
- Once the replication is completed, a confirmation email is sent your log in account.

## Replicate server image to VPC

You can replicate a My server image created in the Classic environment to the VPC environment.

              Note

              

- Only the following server images can be replicated to VPC servers.
  - CentOS 7.8 (64-bit)
  - Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)
  - Windows 2016 (64-bit)
  - CentOS 7.8 (64-bit) with Tibero
- Windows server images can be replicated to VPC servers after running the anti-virus status confirmation script. For details on how to replicate to VPC after running the anti-virus status confirmation script, see [Replicate Windows server image to VPC environment.](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#Windows%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EB%B3%B5%EC%A0%9C)
- If the VPC replication feature is not supported because the hypervisor version of Classic is lower than that of VPC, see [Replicate older version of My server image to VPC environment](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EC%98%A4%EB%9E%98%EB%90%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%A0%84%EC%9D%98%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EB%B3%B5%EC%A0%9C).

To replicate a My server image to the VPC environment, follow these steps:

1. In the Classic environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Server Image** menu.
3. Select a server image from the server image list, and then click the **[Replicate to VPC]** button.
4. Enter the server image name from the popup window, and then click the **[Create]** button.
  - My server image is replicated to the VPC environment.

              Note

              

- Replicating a server image to VPC could take several minutes to several hours, depending on the size.
- The server image being replicated to VPC cannot be deleted and the replication process cannot be canceled midway.
- Once the replication is completed, a confirmation email is sent to your log in account.
- If you create a server in VPC with the image of the server where Anti-Virus is installed, Agent is automatically installed on the created server and is subject to billing.

### Replicate Windows server image

Windows server images can be replicated to VPC servers after running the anti-virus status confirmation script. To replicate a Windows Server image to a VPC server after running the anti-virus status confirmation script, follow these steps:

1. Access the Windows server to check the installed anti-virus solution.
2. If the anti-virus solution is either ApexOne or OfficeScan, delete the anti-virus from the Control Panel and delete related folders.
  - ApexOne
    - Program name: Trend Micro Apex One Security Agent
    - Folder address: Trend Micro\Security Agent in C:\Program File (x86)
  - OfficeScan
    - Program name: Trend Micro officescan Security Agent
    - Folder address: Trend Micro\Security Agent in C:\Program Files (x86)
  - For anti-virus solutions other than ApexOne and OfficeScan, you can create a My server image without deleting them from the server.
3. Run Windows PowerShell as administrator.
4. Enter the following command and download the anti-virus status confirmation script execution tool.

```
cd c:\users\Administrator\Desktop
Invoke-WebRequest http://init.ncloud.com/vpcporting/real/ncp_vac_chk.exe -outfile ncp_vac_chk.exe
```
  - The ncp_vac_chk.exe file is downloaded to the desktop.
5. Run the script execution tool as administrator and check the results.
  - If the anti-virus status confirmation is performed properly, 2 files (notifyFreeAntiVirusRemoved, result) are created on the desktop. If it is performed improperly, only the result file is created.
  - If the notifyFreeAntiVirusRemoved file is not created or if the result of the file is not "OK," check the anti-virus removal status again and then run the script execution tool again.
6. Create My server image with the server where the script is performed.
  - For detailed information on creating My server image, see [Create My server image](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EB%82%B4%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1).
7. Replicate the created server image to the VPC environment.
  - For more information about how to replicate My server image to the VPC environment, see [Replicate server image to VPC](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#VPC%EB%A1%9C%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EB%B3%B5%EC%A0%9C).

### Replicate older version of server image

If the VPC replication feature is not supported because the hypervisor version of the Classic environment is lower than that of VPC environment, you can create a new server in the Classic environment using the server image you want to replicate, and then create a My server image with the new server to replicate it to the VPC. To replicate the older version of My server image to the VPC environment, follow these steps:

1. Create a new server in the Classic environment with the older version of the My server image.
  - The image of the new server to be created must be the same as that of the VPC server you want to replicate the image to.
  - For more details on how to create a server, see [Create server.](/docs/en/server-create-classic#%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1).
2. Create My server image again with the created server.
  - For detailed information on creating My server image, see [Create My server image](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#%EB%82%B4%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EC%83%9D%EC%84%B1).
3. Replicate the server image that has been created again to the VPC environment.
  - For more information about how to replicate My server image to the VPC environment, see [Replicate server image to VPC](/docs/en/server-serverimage-classic#VPC%EB%A1%9C%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EB%B3%B5%EC%A0%9C).
