In this window, you can specify which SVM selection algorithm Light Agents for Linux should use, and configure the settings for using the advanced SVM selection algorithm.
SVM selection algorithm
Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Use the standard SVM selection algorithm |
If this option is selected, after installing and running on a virtual machine, the Light Agent selects an SVM to connect to that is local to Light Agent. For more details, refer to the Help for Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security for Virtualization Light Agent. If there are no local SVMs available for connection, the Light Agent selects the SVM that has the fewest Light Agents connected, regardless of the location of the SVM in the virtual infrastructure. This option is selected by default. |
Use the extended SVM selection algorithm |
If this option is selected, you can use the SVM path slider to specify how the SVM's location in the virtual infrastructure will be taken into account when determining whether the SVM is local relative to the Light Agent. The Light Agent will only be able to connect to SVMs that are local. You can also specify that the SVM path in the virtual infrastructure should not be taken into account when selecting an SVM to connect to. When selecting an SVM, Light Agents consider the number of Light Agents connected to the SVM to ensure an even distribution of Light Agents among the SVMs available to connect to. |
SVM path |
Allows you to specify the type of SVM path in the virtual infrastructure, which is taken into account when selecting SVMs for connection:
The option is available if the Use the extended SVM selection algorithm option is selected. |
If a Light Agent uses the advanced SVM selection algorithm and a list of SVM addresses is selected as the SVM discovery method, and large infrastructure protection mode is enabled on an SVM (for more information, see the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Help), then connecting a Light Agent to this SVM is only possible if the SVM path is ignored. You need to set the SVM path setting to Ignore SVM path. If any other value is set, Light Agents will not be able to connect to the SVM.
