How can I import Amazon AWS resume instance

Question

I was importing a VMDK image file into amazon ec2 using the command ec2-import-instance but the upload was interrupted by a power failure.I want to resume the upload but I don't have the task id. Is there a way to resume the upload? I can see the uploaded folder in my S3 bucket and the created manifest file, but no task id

Answer 1

Go to the EC2 instance list and find the instance that is created during the import. Click Terminate, then you will see the import task id there. After that, Using this command to resume import task:

ec2-resume-import

you can get the reference at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/CommandLineReference/ApiReference-cmd-ResumeImport.html 

and yes Remember to specify --region parameter.
