Installing the Kaspersky Security solution

Installation of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Light Agent in the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

1. Installing the Integration Server and Integration Server Console.

   If you plan to use a Windows-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, we recommend to use the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard to install the Integration Server and Integration Server Console.

   If you plan to use a Linux-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, a device with a Windows operating system is required to install the Integration Server and Integration Server Console. Installation is performed manually.

2. Installing Kaspersky Security Protection Servers.

   The Protection Server is installed as a result of deploying SVMs on a hypervisor in a virtual infrastructure. Several SVMs can be deployed on one hypervisor.

   You can deploy SVMs using the Integration Server Console.

   You can also deploy SVMs using the Integration Server REST API (open the description of REST API requests) or deploy SVMs with virtual infrastructure tools and then configure SVM configuration settings using the klconfig script API manually or using automation tools.

3. If you are installing the solution in an infrastructure managed by a VMware vCenter Server and VMware NSX Manager: connection of the Integration Server to VMware NSX Manager. You can configure a connection by changing the settings for connecting the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure.
4. Installing Kaspersky Security management plug-ins.

   To manage Kaspersky Security solution components using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, you need to install management MMC plug-ins on the device where the Administration Console is installed.

   To manage Kaspersky Security solution components using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you need to install management web plug-ins on the device with Kaspersky Security Center Web Console installed.

   If you plan to use a Linux-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, you need to install web management plug-ins. The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console and MMC management plug-ins are not supported.

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

   After installing the management plug-ins, you can automatically create a default Protection Server policy and an Update databases and solution modules task using the Kaspersky Security Center quick start wizard.

5. Preparing the Protection Servers for operation.
6. Installing Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.

   Installation of Network Agent on the SVM is not required because it is included in the SVM image.

7. Installing Light Agent for Linux on the virtual machines.
8. Preparing Light Agents for operation.
