Explanation

Two checks and fixes are needed before re-uploading. First, verify the image type is set to 'Disk' (C)-not 'ISO'-because only images of type Disk appear in the Clone from Image Service workflow; an image mistakenly uploaded as type ISO will be invisible there. Second, Nutanix Image Service natively uses QCOW2 format; a VHD may not be properly recognized or may fail to attach correctly, so converting it to QCOW2 before uploading (A) ensures compatibility. Verifying the container (B) is a general best practice but does not cause the image to be invisible. Verifying the image is Active (D) is relevant only if the image upload failed, which is a separate scenario.
