Step 3. Selecting an SVM image for the network protection service

If you wish to install the Network Threat Detection component, you must specify the SVM image with the installed Network Threat Detection component at this stage. The Integration Server registers the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection) in VMware NSX Manager. After registration 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.

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.

The traffic processing mode determines the settings of the application installed on an SVM with the Network Threat Detection component. You can select one of the following traffic processing modes:

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.

If you do not want to install the Network Threat Detection component, clear the Register the network protection service check box.

Proceed to the next step of the Wizard.
