Installing the Integration Server and Integration Server Console

The Integration Server and Integration Server Console must be installed under an account that belongs to local administrator group.

Installation requires at least 4 GB of free space on the drive containing the %ProgramData% folder.

The procedure for installing the Integration Server and the Integration Server Console depends on which version of Kaspersky Security Center you plan to use to manage the Kaspersky Security solution:

• 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. The Integration Server must be installed on the device on which the Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center is installed. The Integration Server Console must be installed on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

  You can perform the installation using the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard in interactive mode or in silent mode.

  The Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher is required for the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard. You can install the Microsoft .NET Framework platform in advance, or the Kaspersky Security Component Installation Wizard will suggest installing it during the installation of Kaspersky Security solution components. Internet access is required to install Microsoft .NET Framework. If there are any problems with the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework, make sure that Windows updates KB2919442 and KB2919355 have been installed on the device.

  Depending on the availability of Kaspersky Security Center components installed on the device, the following operations are performed once installation is started:

  • If only Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed on the device, the Integration Server Console is installed.
  • If the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server and Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console are installed on the device, the Integration Server and Integration Server Console are installed.

  After installation of the Integration Server Console is complete, in Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, in the workspace of the Administration Server <Server name> node on the Monitoring tab, the Deployment section displays a Manage Kaspersky Security for Virtualization <version number> Light Agent link (where <version number> is the number of the installed version of the Kaspersky Security solution). This link is used to start the Integration Server Console.

• If you plan to use a Linux-based Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Security, the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard cannot be used to install the Integration Server and the Integration Server Console. The Integration Server and Integration Server Console must be installed on a device running a Windows operating system, regardless of the Kaspersky Security Center components. Installation is performed manually.

  After installation is complete, you can start the Integration Server Console using the executable file located in the Integration Server Console installation folder.

For successful installation of the Integration Server, in the settings of network equipment or traffic monitoring software you need to allow connections through the port that will be used by SVMs and Light Agents to connect to the Integration Server. By default, port number 7271 (TCP) is used.

When installing the Integration Server, data saved during removal of the Integration Server that was used to work with Kaspersky Security version 5.2 or later (including the Kaspersky Security 5.2.1 update) may be used.

The procedure for installing the Integration Server as part of Kaspersky Security solution update differs from the "clean" installation procedure described in this section.
