You can upgrade the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Light Agent solution to Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent.
Upgrading of earlier Kaspersky Security versions to version 6.1 is not provided.
Before you begin the upgrade, you need to prepare the files required to install the solution and complete the steps necessary to prepare the virtual infrastructure for installation of the solution.
Updating the version of the solution to Kaspersky Security to Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent involves the following steps:
The procedure for updating the Integration Server depends on which version of Kaspersky Security Center you are using to manage the Kaspersky Security solution:
After upgrading the Integration Server, we recommend to replace the self-signed SSL certificate of the Integration Server with a more secure certificate. You can create a new certificate and install it using the certificate management tool included with the solution.
Depending on your choice of Kaspersky Security Center management console, you need to update the web or management MMC plug-ins of the Protection Server and Light Agent for Linux.
Deploy SVMs with the new version of the Protection Server on your hypervisors.
You must follow the steps to prepare the updated Protection Servers for operation.
Policies and tasks configured for Kaspersky Security version 6.0 are not compatible with the updated version of the solution.
If you are using the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage solution components and, after updating the solution, you want to use the settings previously configured in Kaspersky Security Center for the old version of the solution components, you must convert policies and tasks.
The policy and task conversion procedure is not available in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. If you are using the Web Console to manage solution components, you must create new policies and tasks for the upgraded solution components. You can migrate some policy and task settings from the previous version by exporting and importing settings.
After completing the update of the solution components, you can delete policies and tasks of the previous version of the Protection Server and Light Agent.
You must update the Network Agent and Light Agent for Linux (the Kaspersky Endpoint Security application running in Light Agent mode) on virtual machines and virtual machine templates with Linux guest operating systems.
For a description of the Network Agent for Linux and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux update procedure, please refer to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.
You must follow the steps to prepare the updated Light Agents for operation.
