Installing the application

Installation of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent in the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

1. Installing Kaspersky Security management MMC plug-ins, Integration Server, and Integration Server Console.
   • The following management MMC plug-ins are used to manage the application using Kaspersky Security Center:
     • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent for Windows
     • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent for Linux
     • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent – Protection Server

     MMC plug-ins must be installed on the computer where Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

   • The Integration Server must be installed on the computer on which the Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center is installed.
   • The Integration Server Console must be installed on the computer on which the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center is installed.

   After installing Kaspersky Security MMC management plug-ins, Integration Server and Integration Server Console, it is recommended to run the download updates to the repository task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console and make sure that the task completes successfully. For details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

   If the computer on which the Integration Server is installed belongs to a Microsoft Windows domain and you want to use the web interface to interact with Kaspersky Security Center, change the default password for the Integration Server administrator account (admin) after you installed the Integration Server.

   When the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console starts for the first time after MMC plug-ins are installed, the Initial Configuration Wizard for the managed application is automatically started for each installed plug-in. The Wizard results in the creation of tasks and the default Protection Server policy.

2. Installing Kaspersky Security web plug-ins if you intend to use the web interface to interact with Kaspersky Security Center. Web plug-ins are installed using the Web Console.
3. The Kaspersky Security Protection Server installation by deploying SVMs on hypervisors.
4. If you are installing the application in an infrastructure managed by a VMware vCenter Server and VMware NSX Manager, you need to configure the connection of the Integration Server to VMware NSX Manager in the Integration Server Console after completion of SVM deployment.
5. Preparing the Protection Server for operation.
6. Installing the Network Agent of Kaspersky Security Center on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.

   Network Agent must be installed on virtual machines before installation of Light Agent for Windows, if you want to install Light Agent for Windows locally using the Installation Wizard, from the command line, or using the Active Directory Group Policies. If Network Agent is not installed, Light Agent for Windows installation fails. Network Agent may be installed automatically during remote installation of Light Agent for Windows through Kaspersky Security Center using the Remote Installation Wizard or the remote installation task.

   On a virtual machine running Linux, Network Agent can be installed automatically during the installation of the Light Agent for Linux component.

   Installation of Network Agent on the SVM is not required because it is included in the SVM image.

7. Installing Light Agent for Windows and/or Light Agent for Linux to virtual machines.

   You can install Light Agent for Windows on virtual machines that are part of an infrastructure employing the following virtualization solutions:

   • Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop).
   • Citrix Provisioning (Citrix Provisioning Services).
   • VMware Horizon.
8. Preparing Light Agents for operation.
