Installation of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent in the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:
The procedure for installing the Integration Server depends on which version of Kaspersky Security Center you plan to use to manage the Kaspersky Security solution:
The Integration Server Console is used to manage the Integration Server. You can install the Integration Server Console on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed, or on another Windows device.
If you want to manage Kaspersky Security solution components using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you need to install management web plug-ins on the device with Kaspersky Security Center Web Console installed.
If you want to manage Kaspersky Security solution components using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, you need to install MMC management plug-ins on the device where the Administration Console is installed.
If you plan to use a Linux-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, you need to install management web plug-ins. The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console and MMC management plug-ins are not supported.
After installing the Protection Server management plug-in, it is recommended to run the Download updates to the Administration Server storage task in Kaspersky Security Center and make sure that the task completes successfully. For details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.
After installing the management plug-ins, you can automatically create a default Protection Server policy and an Update databases and solution modules task using the Kaspersky Security Center Initial Configuration Wizard.
The Protection Server is installed as a result of deploying SVMs on a hypervisor in a virtual infrastructure. Several SVMs can be deployed on one hypervisor.
You can deploy SVMs in the following ways:
If none of the above methods are suitable, you can deploy SVMs using the tools of the virtual infrastructure and then configure the SVM using the klconfig script API manually or using automation tools.
In an infrastructure managed by VMware vCenter Server and VMware NSX Manager, after SVM deployment, you need to configure the connection of the Integration Server to VMware NSX Manager.
You must take steps to prepare the Protection Servers for operation.
You must install the Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.
Installation of Network Agent on the SVM is not required because it is included in the SVM image.
You must install Light Agent for Linux (Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux that runs in Light Agent mode) on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.
You must follow the steps to prepare the installed Light Agents for operation.
