Step 2. Selecting an SVM image for the file system protection service

If you want to install the File Anti-Virus component, at this step you must specify the SVM image with the installed File Anti-Virus component. The Integration Server registers the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection) in VMware NSX Manager. After registration finishes, you can deploy the file system protection service on VMware clusters. As a result, SVMs with the File Anti-Virus component will be deployed on the hypervisors.

The application distribution kit includes several SVM images with the File Anti-Virus 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 File Anti-Virus component must be located in the same folder on a network resource that is accessible over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

To specify the SVM image, perform the following actions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

If you do not want to install the File Anti-Virus component, clear the Register the file system protection service check box.

Proceed to the next step of the Wizard.
