A list of tasks opens.

The New Task Wizard starts.

1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent – Protection Server.
2. In the Task type drop-down list, select the Database update rollback task type.
3. In the Task name field, enter the name for the new task.
4. In the Select devices to which the task will be assigned section, select a method for determining the task scope. A task scope is a set of SVMs on which a task will run.
   • Select the Assign task to an administration group option to execute the task on all SVMs belonging to the specified administration group.
   • Select the Specify device addresses manually or import from list option to execute the task on the specified SVMs.
   • Select the Assign task to selected devices option to execute the task on the SVMs included in the selection of devices according to a predefined criterion. For details on creating a selection of devices, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

• In the administration group tree, select the check boxes next to the required administration groups.
• In the list of devices, select the check boxes next to the required SVMs. If the required SVMs are not listed, you can add them in the following ways:
  • Using the Add devices button. You can add devices by names or IP addresses, add devices from the specified IP address range, or select devices from the list of devices detected by the Administration Server when polling the organization’s local network.
  • Using the Import devices from file button. Addresses are imported from a TXT file with a list of addresses of SVMs, with each address in a separate row.

  If you import a list of SVMs from file or specify the addresses manually and the SVMs are identified by name, the list of SVMs for which the task is being created can be supplemented only with those SVMs whose details have already been included in the Administration Server database upon connection of SVMs or following a poll of the local area network.

• In the list, select the name of the selection containing the required SVMs.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

If necessary, configure other task launch schedule settings. For more information about the task schedule, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

• If you want to create a task that will run on SVMs included in the selected administration group, select this administration group in the console tree. Then in the workspace, select the Tasks tab and click the New task button.

  A wizard starts to create a task for devices of the selected administration group.

• If you want to create a task that will run on one or more SVMs (a task for a set of devices), select the Tasks folder in the console tree and click the New task button in the workspace.

  A wizard starts to create a new task for a set of devices.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

1. Specify the method for defining the task scope: select SVMs from the list of devices discovered by the Administration Server, manually specify the SVM addresses, import a list of SVMs from a file, or specify a previously configured selection of devices (for details, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help).
2. Depending on the specified method for defining the scope, perform one of the following operations in the window that opens:
   • In the list of detected devices, specify the SVMs on which the task will be run. To do so, select the check boxes in the list, on the left of the device names.
   • Click the Add or Add IP range button and enter the addresses of SVMs manually.
   • Click the Import button, and in the window that opens select a TXT file with the list of addresses of SVMs.
   • Click the Browse button, and in the window that opens specify the name of the selection containing the SVMs for which you want to create the task.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

• Run skipped tasks

  If you want the solution to start missed tasks immediately after an SVM appears on the network, select this check box.

  If this check box is cleared, in Manually mode, the task is started only on SVMs that are visible on the network.

• Use automatically randomized delay for task starts

  By default, the time of task start on SVMs is randomized with the scope of a certain time period. This period is calculated automatically depending on the number of SVMs covered by the task:

  • 0–200 SVMs – task start is not randomized
  • 200–500 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 5 minutes
  • 500–1000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 10 minutes
  • 1000–2000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 15 minutes
  • 2000–5000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 20 minutes
  • 5000–10000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 30 minutes
  • 10000–20000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 1 hour
  • 20000–50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 2 hours
  • over 50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 3 hours

  If you do not need to randomize the time of task start within the scope of an automatically calculated time period, clear the Use automatically randomized delay for task starts check box.

  This check box is set by default.

• Use a random delay to start the task in an interval (min)

  If you want to start the task at a given time within a specified period after manual launch, select this check box. In the corresponding text box, specify the maximum task run delay time. In this case, after manual start, the task is started at a random time within the specified period.

  This check box can be changed if the Use automatically randomized delay for task starts check box is cleared.

For more information about the task launch schedule settings, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
