SVM discovery settings

for Windows and Linux

When you start Light Agent, it establishes and maintains a connection to the virtual machine SVM (Secure Virtual Machine). A Protection Server is deployed on the SVM. The Protection Server is the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent solution component that scans files for viruses and other malware, updates anti-virus databases and manages license keys. Light Agent sends file fragments that need scanning to the SVM. Scan results are available for all virtual machines with Light Agent installed (the SharedCash technology). Thus, the SharedCash technology increases the solution efficiency and provides a faster response to threats.

The infrastructure of the organization may contain many virtual machines with Light Agent installed and many SVMs. The Integration Server component is intended for interaction between the solution components and the virtual infrastructure. Integration Server - a component of the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent solution that generates a list of available SVMs and transfers this data to Light Agents, participates in the detection of SVMs by Light Agents, secures the connection between Light Agents and SVMs, and performs other functions.

You can enter several IP addresses or full domain names of the SVMs by typing them from a new line. In the list of SVM addresses, specify only full domain names (FQDN) that are matched by a single IP address. Using a fully qualified domain name that corresponds to multiple IP addresses can lead to errors in the solution.

Enter the Integration Server connection settings. Enter the IP address in IPv4 format or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the device on which the Integration Server is installed.

Use a custom list of SVM addresses

Windows

Create a list of SVMs that Light Agent can connect to. Specify the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of SVM. You can enter several IP addresses or full domain names of the SVMs by typing them from a new line.

In the list of SVM addresses, specify only full domain names (FQDN) that are matched by a single IP address. Using a fully qualified domain name that corresponds to multiple IP addresses can lead to errors in the solution.
