Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Light Agent

Updating in silent mode using the wizard

January 25, 2024

ID 263791

We recommend to close the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console before starting the update.

To update the Integration Server and Integration Server Console in silent mode using the wizard,

Run the following command:

ksvla-components_6.0.X.X_mlg.exe -q --lang=<language ID> --accept-EulaAndPrivacyPolicy=yes --viisPass=<password> [--log-path=<path to file>] [--createBackup] [--backupFolder=<path to folder>]

where:

  • 6.0.X.X is the solution version number.
  • -q is an option specifying that the update is performed in silent mode. If you want to run the update interactively from the command line, do not specify this option.
  • --lang=<language ID> is the identifier of the language of the components to install.

    The language ID must be indicated in the following format: ru, en, de, fr, zh-Hans, zh-Hant, ja. It is case-sensitive.

  • --accept-EulaAndPrivacyPolicy=yes means that you accept the terms of the Kaspersky Security End User License Agreement, concluded between you and Kaspersky, and the Privacy Policy, which describes the processing and transmission of data. By setting this parameter to yes, you confirm the following:
    • You have fully read, understood and accept the terms and conditions of the Kaspersky Security End User License Agreement.
    • You have fully read and understood the Privacy Policy, you are aware and agree that your data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy.

    The text of the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy is included in the solution's distribution kit. Accepting the terms of the End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy is a prerequisite for updating the Integration Server and Integration Server Console.

    You can read the text of the End-User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy by executing the following command:

    ksvla-components_6.0.X.X_mlg.exe --lang=<language ID> --show-EulaAndPrivacyPolicy

    The text of the End-User License Agreement and the Privacy Policy is output to the license_<language ID>.txt file in the tmp folder.

  • --viisPass=<password> is the password of the Integration Server administrator account (admin). The admin account is used to connect the Integration Server Console to the Integration Server if the device on which the Integration Server Console is installed is not part of a Microsoft Windows domain.

    A password must be no longer than 60 characters. You can use only letters of the Latin alphabet (uppercase and lowercase letters), numerals, and the following special characters: ! # $ % & ' ( ) * " + , - . / \ : ; < = > _ ? @ [ ] ^ ` { | } ~. For security purposes, you are advised to set a password that is at least 8 characters long and use at least three of the four categories of characters: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numerals, and special characters.

  • --log-path=<path to file> is the path to the file where information about update results is saved.

    Optional parameter. If the path is not specified, update results are logged to trace files saved at %temp%\Kaspersky_Security_for_Virtualization_<version number>_Light_Agent_BundleInitialInstall_logs_<date and time>.zip, where:

    • <version number> refers to the number of the installed version of the Kaspersky Security solution;
    • <date and time> refers to the date and time when the update was completed, in the dd_MM_yyyy_HH_mm_ss format.
  • --createBackup

    Optional parameter. Indicates that it is necessary to save a backup copy of the database and settings and the certificate of the previously installed Integration Server. By default, the data is saved in the %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\VIISLA\Backup\VIISData(1) folder. The number in the folder name is incremented each time an update is done. You can select the path for saving this data using the --backupFolder option:

  • --backupFolder=<path to folder> is the path to the folder where the backup copy of the database and settings and certificate of the previously installed Integration Server will be saved.

    Optional parameter. If the path is not specified, the data will be saved to the default folder.

To view a description of all available command line parameters for installing and updating Kaspersky Security components, use the --help parameter.

Updating the Integration Server and Integration Server Console takes some time.

After the update 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 updated version of the Kaspersky Security solution). This link is used to start the Integration Server Console.
