Files required for installing the solution

Before you begin installing the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to download the files necessary for the installation and operation of the solution.

Kaspersky Security components installation Wizard

The Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard is required for the following tasks:

• Installing, updating, and removing the Integration Server and Integration Server Console;
• downloading from the Kaspersky website the SVM images required for installing the Protection Server.

To start the Kaspersky Security components installation wizard, you will need the ksvla-components_<solution version number>_mlg.exe file. You can download this file from the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section (Build → Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard).

SVM images

To install the Protection Server, you need an SVM image file and an image description file (a file in XML format). The Kaspersky Security distribution kit includes the following archives for installing the Protection Server in virtual infrastructures of various types:

• The ksvla-svm_microsoft-hyper-v_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in a Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure; the archive contains an SVM image in VHDX format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
• The ksvla-svm_xenserver_numa-vserver_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in XenServer and Numa vServer infrastructures; the archive contains an SVM image in XVA format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
• The ksvla-svm_vmware-vsphere_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in a VMware vSphere infrastructure; the archive contains an SVM image in OVA format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
• The ksvla-svm_kvm_based_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), OpenStack, VK Cloud platform, Proxmox VE, Basis (Skala-R), HUAWEI FusionSphere, Nutanix AHV, ALT Virtualization Server, and Astra Linux infrastructures. The archive contains an SVM image in QCOW2 format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.

You can download archives containing SVM images and SVM image description files using the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard. The archives are also available on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section.

The resulting SVM image file and image description file (file in XML format) must be placed in the same folder on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed, or in the same folder on a network resource to which the user account performing the installation has read access. If you want to install Protection Server in different types of virtual infrastructures, the SVM image file and image description file for each infrastructure must be placed in the same folder.

Light Agent for Linux

The Kaspersky Security solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux as the Light Agent for Linux. To install and use Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux in Light Agent mode, the following files are required:

• Packages for installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux:
  • kesl-<application version number>-<build number>.i386.rpm, kesl_<application version number>-<build number>_i386.deb are packages for installation on 32-bit operating systems in accordance with the type of package manager.
  • kesl-<application version number>-<build number>.x86_64.rpm, kesl_<application version number>-<build number>_amd64.deb are packages for installation on 64-bit operating systems in accordance with the type of package manager.
• The kesl-<application version number>.<build number>.zip archive. The archive contains files for remote installation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux using Kaspersky Security Center, as well as a file with the text of the End User License Agreement for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux and the Privacy Policy (license.<language ID>) and a file with the text of the Kaspersky Security Statement Network (ksn_license.<language ID>).

You can download the files required to install the Light Agent for Linux component on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux section.

Kaspersky Security Center and Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent

To install and manage the operation of the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to install Kaspersky Security Center.

For Light Agent components installed on virtual machines to interact with Kaspersky Security Center, you must install Network Agent on the virtual machines where Light Agent will be installed.

You can download the files required to install Kaspersky Security Center and Network Agent on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security Center section. For more information on installing Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

Management MMC plug-ins

To manage solution components through Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, you need to install management MMC plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

You can download MMC plug-in installation files from the Kaspersky website:

• The klcfginst.msi archive is used to install the MMC plug-in for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent – Protection Server. The file is located on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section.
• The KSC_KES4Linux12_1_Х.zip archive, where 12_1_Х is the version number of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux. This archive is used to install the MMC plugin for Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.1 for Linux. The archive is located on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux section.

To install and update MMC plugins, you can also use the list of Kaspersky applications in the Administration Console (Advanced → Remote installation → Installation packages → Additional actions → View current versions of Kaspersky applications).

Management web plug-ins

To manage solution components via Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you need to install management web plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is installed.

To install web plug-ins, you can use the list of available plug-ins in the Web Console (Settings → Web plug-ins → Add) or download archives for installing management web plug-ins from the Kaspersky website:

• The ksvla-web_plugin_svm_<solution version number>_mlg.zip archive is used to install the web plug-in for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent – Protection Server.
• The kes_linux_12_1_local_<solution version number>.zip archive is used to install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.1 for Linux web plug-in.
