About the SVM selection algorithm

Light Agents can use one of the following SVM selection algorithms for the connection:

A standard SVM selection algorithm.
If this algorithm is applied, after installation and startup on the virtual machine, the Light Agent tries to connect to the SVM deployed on the same hypervisor on which the Light Agent is running. If there are no SVMs available for connection on the hypervisor on which the Light Agent is running, the Light Agent selects from the SVMs deployed on other hypervisors the SVM to which the fewest Light Agents are connected.
An extended SVM selection algorithm.
If this algorithm is applied, you can specify in the Light Agent policy how Light Agents should take into account SVM path. For example, a Light Agent can connect to an SVM deployed on the same hypervisor cluster or in the same Datacenter as the Light Agent. The Light Agent does not have to take into account SVM location in its selection. By default, the Light Agent connects to an SVM deployed on the same hypervisor on which the Light Agent is running.

When selecting an SVM, Light Agents take into account the number of Light Agents connected to this SVM to ensure that Light Agents are evenly spread between SVMs available for connection.

Regardless of the algorithm used in selecting SVMs, Light Agents also take into account the following parameters:

Availability of a valid license (a non-blacklisted key is added to the SVM, and the license validity period associated with the key has not expired). Light Agent first connects to the SVM on which the application is activated (the key is added)
Type of key added to the SVM. If you add a server or desktop key to the SVM, the Light Agent first connects to the SVM on which the key type corresponds to the operating system installed on the virtual machine.
Tags for connecting to the SVM. If a Light Agent has been assigned a tag, this Light Agent can connect only to SVMs for which connection of Light Agents with the specified tag is allowed.
Encrypting the connection between a Light Agent and SVM. A Light Agent for which connection encryption is enabled can connect only to SVMs on which connection encryption is also enabled. A Light Agent for which connection encryption is disabled can connect only to SVMs on which connection encryption is also disabled or protection is enabled, but a non-encrypted connection is allowed.

If you use the application under an enterprise license, you can specify which SVM selection algorithm that Light Agents will use.

If you use the application under a standard license, Light Agents use the standard SVM selection algorithm in selecting SVMs for connection.
