Using components from the previous version of Kaspersky Security after updating to version 6.0

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Light Agent protects virtual machines running Linux guest operating systems; the Light Agent for Windows component is not included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Light Agent. If you want to protect virtual machines running Windows guest operating systems, you need to use the Light Agent for Windows component included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent.

For Light Agents for Windows to continue working, you must also use the SVM with the Protection Server included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent. Light Agent can connect only to an SVM on which the version of the Protection Server is compatible with the version of the Light Agent.

If Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent is installed in your infrastructure, you can upgrade Kaspersky Security to version 6.0 and continue using Light Agents for Windows and SVMs from the previous version. To do this, you need to:

1. Perform the Kaspersky Security upgrade procedure without removing the Light Agent for Windows component from virtual machines and SVMs with the previous version of the Protection Server from the virtual infrastructure.
2. Configure the connection of Light Agents for Windows to the updated Integration Server.
3. Configure the connection of SVMs with the previous version of the Protection Server to the updated Integration Server.

You can configure the connection using a Light Agent for Windows policy and a policy of the previous version of the Protection Server, which will continue to work after an upgrade of Kaspersky Security. For more information, see the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent Help.
