ID 209162

If the Use NSX Vendor Templates / NSX Profile Configurations option is selected in the drop-down list at the top of the window and the application is deployed in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, the following information is displayed in the Protected infrastructure section:

  • Name of the default protection profile. This protection profile is automatically assigned to those NSX Profile Configurations, for which mapping to the protection profile has not been set yet, or has been canceled as a result of deleting a protection profile. As a result, the default protection profile settings are used to protect virtual machines managed by the NSX Policy that uses this NSX Profile Configuration or NSX Service Profile based on it.

    Main protection profile is set as the default protection profile. If you canceled the use of default protection profile, the Do not use protection profile value is displayed.

  • The table of correspondence between the protection profiles and NSX Profile Configurations configured in the protected infrastructure.

The correspondence table displays the following information:

  • The NSX Vendor Template / NSX Profile Configuration column displays the name of the NSX Profile Configuration. If several NSX Profile Configurations with the same Configuration ID are created in the virtual infrastructure, their names are separated by comma. Kaspersky Security processes the NSX Profile Configurations with the same ID as one NSX Configuration Profile.
  • If a mapping is set between the protection profile and the NSX Profile Configuration displayed in the NSX Vendor Template / NSX Profile Configuration column, the Protection profile column displays the name of the protection profile. Kaspersky Security uses the settings of the specified protection profile to protect virtual machines managed by the NSX Policy that uses this NSX Profile Configuration or NSX Service Profile based on it.
  • If mapping between the protection profile and the NSX Profile Configuration displayed in the NSX Vendor Template / NSX Profile Configuration column is canceled, the Protection profile column displays the (Not assigned) value. If no protection profile is mapped to an NSX Profile Configuration, the virtual machines managed by the NSX Policy that uses this NSX Profile Configuration or NSX Service Profile based on it are excluded from protection.
