Changing the SVM image for the network protection service

At this step, you can specify or change the image for deploying SVM with the Network Threat Protection component.

Actions performed at this step depend on the type of VMware NSX Manager you use (VMware NSX-T Manager or VMware NSX-V Manager):

• If Kaspersky Security is deployed in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-T Manager, you can specify the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the Network Threat Protection component.

  If the address of the SVM image description file differs from the address specified when registering Kaspersky Network Protection service, the Integration Server will re-register the network protection service in VMware NSX Manager with a new set of different configurations of SVM images. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can re-deploy the network protection service on VMware cluster. During deployment, you select the SVM image of the desired configuration.

  If the network protection service was not registered before in VMware NSX Manager, the Integration Server will register it. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can deploy the network protection service on VMware cluster. During deployment, you select the SVM image of the desired configuration.

  As a result, SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component will be deployed from the selected image.

• If Kaspersky Security is deployed in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, you can specify the desired configuration of the SVM image with the Network Threat Protection component.

  If the selected SVM image differs from the image specified when registering Kaspersky Network Protection service, the Integration Server re-registers the network protection service in VMware NSX Manager with the new SVM image. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can update the deployed network protection service on VMware clusters.

  If the network protection service was not registered before in VMware NSX Manager, the Integration Server will register it. After the Reconfiguration Wizard finishes, you can deploy the network protection service on VMware clusters.

  As a result, SVMs will be deployed from the specified image.

All files of the SVM image with the Network Threat Protection component must be located in the same folder on a network resource that is accessible over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol.

Selecting an image to deploy in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-T Manager

To select a set of SVM images to deploy:

1. Select the Specify or change the SVM image for the network protection service check box.
2. Enter the address of the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the Network Threat Protection component located on a network resource accessible via HTTP or HTTPS.
3. Click the Validate button.

   The Wizard checks availability and status of all SVM image files at the specified address. If the files are not available, images are corrupted, or the image version is not supported, the Wizard displays an error message.

   If validation is successful, the following information on the selected SVM image will appear at the bottom of the window:

   • 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.
   • SVM configuration. A list of SVM configurations with the Network Threat Protection component that are available for deployment. You can select the desired SVM configuration while re-deploying Kaspersky Network Protection service.

Selecting an image to deploy in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager

To select an SVM image to deploy:

1. Select the Specify or change the SVM image for the network protection service check box.
2. Enter the address of the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the Network Threat Protection component or the address of the SVM image OVF file corresponding to the desired SVM configuration. The files are located on a network resource accessible via HTTP or HTTPS.
3. Click the Validate button.

   The Wizard checks availability and status of all SVM image files at the specified address. If the files are not available, image is corrupted, or the image version is not supported, the Wizard displays an error message.

   If validation is successful, the following information on the selected SVM image will appear at the bottom 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 in the data storage required for deploying the SVM from the specified image.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
