Deployment of the Central Node and Sensor components on a single server includes the following steps:
To install the components on the physical server, you need to run a disk image with the Central Node and Sensor components.
To install components on a virtual server, you need to connect the disk image with the Central Node and Sensor components to the selected virtual machine and run it. The installation starts immediately after the virtual machine is turned on. You can manage the installation process using the console of the virtual machine.
When installing components on a virtual machine, you must select the BIOS boot mode for the virtual machine: Options → Boot Options → Firmware → BIOS.
At the final stage of cluster deployment, you need to configure the scaling settings of the program: specify the planned volume of SPAN traffic, email traffic, the number of hosts with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent, as well as the size of the Storage and event database.
The Central Node component is always installed together with the Sensor component. If you need to use the Central Node component separately, turn off receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports in step 10.
