Configuring SVM discovery settings

You can configure SVM discovery settings for Light Agents in the Light Agent policy properties using the Administration Console, in the Light Agent for Windows local interface, and using the Web Console when creating or editing the Light Agent for Windows policy settings and the Light Agent for Linux policy settings (Application settings → Connection to SVM → SVM discovery settings).

To configure SVM discovery settings for Light Agents in the Administration Console:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, select the folder with the name of the administration group for whose protected virtual machines you want to configure SVM discovery settings.
3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
4. In the list of policies, select a policy for Light Agent for Windows if you want to configure the settings for Light Agent for Windows, or select a policy for Light Agent for Linux if you want to configure the settings for Light Agent for Linux.
5. Double-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
6. In the list on the left, select the SVM discovery settings section.
7. Select the SVM discovery method used by Light Agents:
   • Use Integration Server
     

     If this option is selected, the Light Agent component connects to the Integration Server to receive a list of SVMs available for connection and information about them.

     If you want to use the Integration Server, configure the settings for connecting Light Agents to the Integration Server.

   • Use a custom list of SVM addresses
     

     If this option is selected, you can specify the list of SVMs to which Light Agents managed by the specified policy can connect. Light Agents will connect only to the SVMs specified in the list.

     If you selected the Use a custom list of SVM addresses option and an extended SVM selection algorithm is used, the value of the SVM path parameter in the SVM selection algorithm section must be set to Ignore SVM path. If any other value is set, the Light Agents will not be available to connect to SVM.

8. If the Use a custom list of SVM addresses option is selected, create a list of SVMs. To do this, perform the following actions:
   1. Click the Add button located above the list of SVM addresses.

      The SVM addresses window opens.

   2. Enter the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SVM to which Light Agents managed by the policy can connect. You can enter several IP addresses or full domain names of the SVMs by typing them from a new line.

      In the list of SVM addresses, specify only full domain names (FQDN) that are matched by a single IP address. Using a full domain name matched by several IP addresses can cause application errors.

   3. In the SVM Addresses window, click OK.

      The specified addresses and fully qualified domain names of SVMs are checked. If some addresses or names are not recognized, a relevant message with the number of addresses or names that have not been recognized appears in a separate window. Recognized addresses and fully qualified domain names appear in the list of addresses of SVMs.

   4. To remove an IP address or fully qualified domain name of an SVM from the list, select it in the list and click the Delete button above the list.
9. Click the Apply button.

To configure the SVM discovery settings for Light Agent in the local interface:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Connection to SVM section, select SVM discovery settings.

   If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

3. Complete steps 7–8 of the previous instructions.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
