About updating management plug-ins

Integration Server management plug-in

If you are using the Integration Server Web Console to manage the Integration Server, you need to update the Integration Server management web plug-in (Kaspersky Security for Virtualization <version number> Light Agent – Integration Server).

The Protection Server management plug-in is updated by installing a new version of the management plug-in.

After updating the Integration Server management plug-in in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, the new version of the Integration Server Web Console becomes available in the Settings → Kaspersky Security for Virtualization <version number> Light Agent – Integration Server section. You can use it to manage SVMs of the new version of Kaspersky Security.

The Integration Server Web Console of the previous version continues to work after the Integration Server management plug-in is updated. You can use it to manage SVMs of the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

After all the application components have been updated, you can remove the Integration Server management plug-in of the previous version.

Management plug-ins of the Protection Server and Light Agents.

Depending on the version of Kaspersky Security Center, you need to update:

The Protection Server management plug-in is updated by installing a new version of the management plug-in.

After installing the Protection Server management plug-in, it is recommended to run the Download updates to the repository task in Kaspersky Security Center and make sure that the task completes successfully. For details, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

Policies and tasks configured in Kaspersky Security Center for the previous version of Kaspersky Security components are not compatible with the updated version of the solution. If you use the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage solution components, after updating the management MMC plug-ins, you can migrate previously configured policy and task settings to the policies and tasks for the updated version of solution components. You can migrate settings using the Kaspersky Security Center Policies and tasks batch conversion wizard (for more details, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help).

The converted policies and tasks use the settings of policies and tasks of the previous version of Kaspersky Security components. The settings that were not configured in the policies and tasks of the previous version take default values in the converted policies and tasks. The converted policies and tasks have names "<Original policy/task name> (converted)".

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 updated solution components.

After converting or creating a new Protection Server policy, we recommend making sure that the versions of Light Agents that you are using are specified in the update settings in the Protection Server policy. By default, an update package contains the database updates required for the operation of the Protection Server, Light Agent for Linux, and Light Agent for Windows.

Management plug-ins of the previous version continue to operate after installation of the new version of the Kaspersky Security management plug-ins. You can use them to manage SVMs and Light Agents of the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

After all the application components are updated, you can remove the management plug-ins of the previous version.
