Removing the Kaspersky Security solution

Virtual machines and user data will no longer be protected if the Kaspersky Security solution is uninstalled.

The procedure to uninstall the Kaspersky Security solution from the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

1. Uninstalling the Kaspersky Security Protection Server.

   To uninstall the Protection Server component, remove the deployed SVM from the virtual infrastructure.

   If you completely uninstall the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to remove all SVMs. If necessary, you can remove only some of the SVMs.

   You can remove SVMs using the SVM Management Wizard, which is launched in the Integration Server Console.

   You can also remove SVMs using the Integration Server REST API (open the description of REST API requests).

   If you have removed all SVMs from any virtual infrastructure, it is recommended to remove the connection settings for this virtual infrastructure from the following lists:

   • from the list of virtual infrastructures to which the Integration Server is connected for receiving information about the protected infrastructure
   • from the list of virtual infrastructure objects to which the SVM Management Wizard is connected (see, for example, the "Selecting SVMs to remove" step of the SVM removal procedure)
2. Removing Light Agent for Linux from virtual machines and from virtual machine templates.
3. Removing Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent from virtual machines and from virtual machine templates.
4. Removing the Integration Server and Integration Server Console.
5. Removing Kaspersky Security management plug-ins.

After the Protection Server and Light Agent components are removed, the SVMs and virtual machines on which Light Agents were installed are still displayed in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. After the expiration of the period specified in the Kaspersky Security Center settings (see the Kaspersky Security Center help), information about the SVMs and virtual machines is automatically deleted. You can remove this information from Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console manually after uninstalling the solution.
