Preparing for application installation

Before installing the Kaspersky Security, you need to do the following.

General preparations

To ensure a secure connection between the application and the hypervisor, you are advised to use the AES256 encryption algorithm to encrypt incoming connections on the hypervisor over TLS, SSH, and other similar protocols.

Additional steps for Microsoft Hyper-V platform

In the virtual infrastructure on the Microsoft Hyper-V platform, perform the following steps before installing Kaspersky Security:

Additional Steps for VMware vSphere platform

In the virtual infrastructure on the VMware vSphere platform, perform the following steps before installing Kaspersky Security:

Additional Steps for Citrix Hypervisor platform

In the virtual infrastructure on the Citrix Hypervisor platform, make sure that XenTools is installed on the virtual machines that you want to protect before installing Kaspersky Security.

Additional steps for Proxmox VE platform

in the virtual infrastructure on the Proxmox VE platform, make sure that there is at least 30 GB of free space in the /var/tmp directory before installing Kaspersky Security.

Additional steps for HUAWEI FusionSphere platform

In the virtual infrastructure on the HUAWEI FusionSphere platform, make sure that HUAWEI Tools package is installed on the virtual machines that you want to protect before installing Kaspersky Security.

While deploying an SVM in a virtual infrastructure based on the HUAWEI FusionSphere platform, the SVM Management Wizard installs the HUAWEI Tools package on the SVM. To receive this package, the Wizard queries the HUAWEI FusionCompute hypervisor. The HUAWEI Tools package is not included in the Kaspersky Security application distribution kit. It is recommended to make sure that the HUAWEI Tools package is available on the HUAWEI FusionCompute hypervisor.

Additional steps for Astra Linux Platform

Prior to starting installation of the application in a virtual infrastructure running on the Astra Linux Platform, you need to configure the user account that will be used for SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration as follows:

  1. Run the following command:

    $ sudo usermod -a -G kvm,libvirt,libvirt-qemu,libvirt-admin <user_name>

  2. Open the sudoers configuration file by running the following command:

    sudo visudo

  3. Specify the following in the file:

    <user name> ALLĀ = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

    <user name> refers to the name of the user account that will be used to connect to the virtual infrastructure during SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration.

  4. Save the sudoers file and then close it.
