Deploying SVMs and configuring protection settings in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager

To protect virtual machines in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, perform the following actions in the VMware vSphere Client console:

1. Deploy Kaspersky Security services on VMware clusters. As a result, SVMs with Kaspersky Security components are deployed on VMware ESXi hypervisors.
   • If you want to protect virtual machines from file threats, you need to deploy Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service. The SVMs with the File Threat Protection component will be deployed on the hypervisors.
   • If you want to protect virtual machines from network threats, you need to deploy Kaspersky Network Protection service. The SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component will be deployed on the hypervisors.

   After SVMs are deployed, the Integration Server sends to each new SVM the settings that you specified when registering Kaspersky Security services.

   Kaspersky Security Center places the deployed SVMs to KSC clusters.

2. Include virtual machines that you want to protect into one or several NSX Groups.
3. Create NSX Policy that uses Kaspersky Security services:
   • File system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection), if you want to protect virtual machines from file threats.
   • Network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection), if you want to protect virtual machines from network threats.

   Apply the created NSX policy to NSX groups, which include protected virtual machines.
