Removing Kaspersky Security components in the virtual infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager

To remove the File Threat Protection component in the VMware NSX-V Manager virtual infrastructure:

1. Remove all SVMs with the File Threat Protection component on VMware clusters. Removing SVMs is performed by removing the previous deployment of the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection) from VMware clusters.

   The service deployment is removed in VMware vSphere Client console, in the Networking & Security → Installation and Upgrade section on the Service Deployment tab. In the list of deployments, remove the deployment of the Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service on the clusters from which you want to remove the SVM (see the Knowledge Base for details).

2. Remove the NSX Policy that uses the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection). The NSX Policy is removed in the VMware vSphere Client console, in the Networking & Security section, the Security → Service Composer subsection, on the Security Policies tab. Select the NSX Policy and perform the Actions → Delete action.

To remove the Network Threat Protection component in a VMware virtual infrastructure, you must perform the following actions:

   The service deployment is removed in VMware vSphere Client console, in the Networking & Security → Installation and Upgrade section on the Service Deployment tab. In the list of deployments, remove the deployment of the Kaspersky Network Protection service on the clusters from which you want to remove the SVM (see the Knowledge Base for details).

2. Remove the NSX Policy that uses the Kaspersky Network Protection service. The NSX Policy is removed in the VMware vSphere Client console, in the Networking & Security section, the Security → Service Composer subsection, on the Security Policies tab.
