Preparing for application installation > Preparing virtual infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager
Preparing virtual infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager
Preparing virtual infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager
Before installing Kaspersky Security in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, do the following:
- Combine VMware ESXi hypervisors into one or several VMware clusters.
- Configure the Agent VM Settings in the properties of each hypervisor: select a network and storage for service virtual machines and SVMs. For details on configuring Agent VM Settings, please refer to the VMware product documentation.
- Deploy the Guest Introspection service on each VMware cluster on which you want to deploy the SVMs with the File Threat Protection component. As a result, the Guest Introspection service virtual machines are deployed on each hypervisor that is part of the cluster.
Deployment of the Guest Introspection service is performed in the VMware vSphere Client console.
- Install the Guest Introspection Thin Agent component on each virtual machine that you want to protect using Kaspersky Security.
On the virtual machines running Windows, the NSX File Introspection Driver, which is included in VMware Tools version 11.2.5 package acts as the Guest Introspection Thin Agent component. By default, NSX File Introspection Driver is not installed, so when installing the VMware Tools package, select NSX File Introspection Driver to install.
Special packages are provided for installation of the Guest Introspection Thin Agent component on the virtual machines running Linux operating system. For more details please refer to documentation attached to VMware products.
- If you want to install the Network Threat Protection component, perform the following additional actions:
- Make sure that the correct license type is used for VMware NSX Data Center for vSphere.
- Install VMware NSX components on hypervisors. Installation is performed in the VMware vSphere Client console in the Networking & Security → Installation and Upgrade section on the Host Preparation tab. You need to select the VMware cluster on which the SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component will be deployed and perform the Actions → Install action. Refer to the Knowledge Base for more details.
