Step 3. Changing the SVM image for the network protection service

At this step, you can select the SVM image with the Network Threat Detection component. If the selected SVM image differs from the image specified when the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection) was registered, the Integration Server re-registers the network protection service in VMware NSX Manager. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can update the deployed network protection service on VMware clusters. As a result, SVMs from the new image will be deployed on hypervisors.

If the network protection service was not previously registered, the Integration Server registers the network protection service in VMware NSX Manager. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can deploy the network protection service on VMware clusters. As a result, SVMs with the Network Threat Detection component will be deployed on the hypervisors.

The application distribution kit includes several SVM images with the Network Threat Detection component installed that you can use to deploy SVMs with the necessary configuration (according to the number of processors and RAM allocated for an SVM).

All files of the SVM image with the installed Network Threat Detection component must be located in the same folder on a network resource that is accessible over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

In order to indicate or edit the path to the SVM image, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Specify or change the SVM image for the network protection service check box.
  2. In the field, specify the address of the SVM images description file (XML file) or the address of the SVM image OVF file corresponding to the necessary SVM configuration.
  3. Click the Validate button.

    The Wizard validates the SVM image. If the image is corrupted or the image version is not supported, the Wizard displays an error message.

    If the SVM image validation is successful, the following details of the selected SVM image will appear in the lower part of the window:

    • SVM configuration. The number of processors and RAM allocated for the SVM.

      If you specified the address of the SVM image description file (XML file), you can select the necessary SVM configuration in the drop-down list in the SVM configuration field.

    • Application name. Name of the application that is installed on the SVM.
    • SVM version. Number of the SVM version.
    • Vendor. Vendor of the application that is installed on the SVM.
    • Description. Brief description of the application.
    • Required disk space. Amount of disk space required for deployment of the SVM in the data storage.

The window displays information about the traffic processing mode that was selected during registration of the network protection service. After network protection service registration and SVM deployment, the traffic processing mode cannot be changed. To select a different traffic processing mode, you will have to remove the SVMs, unregister the network protection service, and then re-register the network protection service with the new traffic processing mode and deploy new SVMs.

Proceed to the next step of the Wizard.
