# Viewing ECS Creation Statuses

#### Scenarios

After submitting the request for creating an ECS, you can view the creation status. This section describes how to view the creation status of an ECS.

#### Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select your region and project.
3. Under Computing, click Elastic Cloud Server.
4. After creating an ECS, view the creation status in the task status area on the right side of common operations (Start, Stop, and More).
5. Click the number displayed above Creating and view details about the tasks.
   - An ECS that is being created is in one of the following states:
     - Creating: The ECS is being created.
     - Failures: Creating the ECS failed. In such a case, the system automatically rolls the task back and displays an error code on the GUI, for example, Ecs.0013 Insufficient EIP quota.
     - Running: The request of creating the ECS has been processed, and the ECS is running properly. An ECS in this state can provide services for you.

       See How Do I Handle Error Messages Displayed on the Management Console? for troubleshooting.

   - If you find that the task status area shows an ECS creation failure but the ECS list displays the created ECS, see Why Does the Failures Area Show an ECS Creation Failure But the ECS List Displays the Created ECS?
