Installing the application

Installation of Kaspersky Security consists of the following steps:

1. Installation of the Kaspersky Security administration plug-in(s) and Integration Server.

   Regardless of the selected application usage option, you need to install the Kaspersky Security main administration plug-in, Integration Server, and Integration Server Console.

   If you want to use the application in multitenancy mode, you need to also install Kaspersky Security administration plug-in for tenants.

   When the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console starts for the first time after the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins are installed, the Quick Start Wizard for the managed application is automatically started. The Wizard lets you create default policies and tasks.

   If the Quick Start Wizard for the managed application was not started automatically, it is recommended to start it manually. Default policies let you register events and display protected virtual machines in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console immediately after installing the application.

2. Configuring the settings for connecting the Integration Server to one or more virtual infrastructure administration servers.
3. Registering Kaspersky Security services in VMware NSX Manager.

   If you want to install the File Threat Protection component, you need to register the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection).

   If you want to install the Network Threat Protection component, you need to register the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection).

   The settings required for registration and deployment of Kaspersky Security services are entered through a Wizard that is started from the Integration Server Console. When you have finished entering the settings, Integration Server registers the Kaspersky Security services in VMware NSX Manager.

   In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, you can verify that registration of Kaspersky Security services completed successfully.

4. Deploying SVMs with the File Threat Protection component and SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component on VMware ESXi hypervisors. Deployment of SVMs is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console.

   After SVMs are deployed, the Integration Server sends each new SVM the configuration settings that you specified when you registered Kaspersky Security services.

   Kaspersky Security Center places the deployed SVMs to KSC clusters.

5. Configuration of NSX Security Groups and NSX Security Policies.

   To protect virtual machines, you need to do the following in the VMware vSphere Web Client console:

   1. Include virtual machines into one or multiple NSX Security Groups.
   2. Configure one or multiple NSX Security Policies and apply the security policies to the NSX Security Groups.
6. Getting started.

   After the application is installed, you must activate the application on all new SVMs, make sure that the application databases have been updated on all new SVMs, and configure the application operation settings by using a policy.

If you want to use the application in multitenancy mode, you need to configure protection of tenant organizations after the application is installed.
