Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, select the folder with the name of the administration group for whose SVMs you want to create a policy.
On the Devices tab of the folder with the name of the administration group, you can view a list of SVMs that belong to this administration group.
In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
Start the New Policy Wizard in one of the following ways:
Click the Create a policy button.
Right-click to open the context menu in the list of policies and select Create / Policy.
At the first step of the wizard, select Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent – Protection Server from the list.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
Enter a name for the new policy.
If you want to migrate the settings from a Protection Server policy of a previous version of Kaspersky Security into the policy being created, select the Use settings from policy for previous application version check box.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
Decide on whether or not to participate in Kaspersky Security Network (KSN). To do so, carefully read the Kaspersky Security Network Statement, then perform one of the following actions:
If you accept all the terms of the Statement and want the application to use KSN, select the I have read, understand, and accept the terms of this Kaspersky Security Network Statement option.
If you do not want to participate in KSN, select the I do not accept the terms of this Kaspersky Security Network Statement option and confirm your decision in the window that opens.
If you want to use Kaspersky Security Network with Kaspersky Security, make sure that the KSN Proxy service is enabled in Kaspersky Security Center (see Kaspersky Security Center manuals).
Go to the next step in the wizard.
If you want to receive application module updates together with the application database update package, select the Update application modules check box.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
If you want to receive SVM status information using a network management system that utilizes the SNMP protocol, enable SNMP monitoring of the status of SVMs.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
If you have enabled the display of advanced settings for the Protection Server policy, configure the SVM advanced settings.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
Verify the address and port used for connecting SVMs to the Integration Server. The fields show the default port (7271) and the domain name of the computer on which the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed. You can change the port and specify the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Integration Server.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
If the computer hosting the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console does not belong to a domain or your account does not belong to the KLAdmins group or to the group of local administrators, in the Connection to Integration Server window that opens, specify the administrator password of the Integration Server (password of the admin account).
The New Policy Wizard checks the SSL certificate received from the Integration Server. If the certificate contains an error or is not trusted, the Integration Server certificate verification window opens. You can click the button in the window to view the details of the received certificate. To continue connecting to the Integration Server, click the Ignore button. The received certificate will be installed as a trusted certificate on the computer where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.
If you want to encrypt the connection between Light Agents and SVMs, at the next step configure the encryption settings for connections between Light Agents and SVMs.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
If you are using the application under an enterprise license, at the next step you can configure settings for the use of tags for connecting Light Agents to SVMs.
Go to the next step in the wizard.
Exit the Policy Wizard.
The created policy will be displayed in the list of policies of the administration group on the Policies tab and in the Policies folder of the console tree.
The policy will be applied to SVMs after the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server relays the information to Kaspersky Security at the next SVM connection. Kaspersky Security starts protecting virtual machines on the hypervisor according to the policy settings.
If Network Agent is not running on the SVM, the created policy is not applied on it.
If you selected the Inactive policy option during the previous step of the New Policy Wizard, the newly created policy is not applied on the SVM.
