You can change the protected infrastructure selected for a policy. This may be required, for example, if you want to copy the policy from one administration group to another. In this case, you need to change the protected infrastructure for the copied policy so that the protected infrastructure matches the location of the policy:

  • If the policy is located in the group that contains the "VMware vCenter Agentless" cluster, the VMware vCenter Server corresponding to this cluster must be selected as the protected infrastructure for the policy.
  • If the policy is located in the Managed devices folder or in the group that contains the "VMware Cloud Director Agentless" cluster, the entire protected infrastructure must be selected as the protected infrastructure for the policy.

To change the protected infrastructure selected for a policy:

  1. In the properties of the policy whose protected infrastructure you want to change, select the Protected infrastructure subsection.
  2. In the right part of the window, click the Change button.

    The Connection to Integration Server window opens. The window displays the settings for connecting to the Integration Server whose address is indicated in the lower part of the window in the Protected infrastructure subsection.

  3. If required, edit the connection settings and click OK.

    It is recommended to specify the Integration Server address in the <address:port> format.

  4. After the connection is established, the Choice of protected infrastructure window opens. Select one of the following options:
    • If you are configuring a policy located in an administration group that contains the "VMware vCenter Agentless" cluster, select the One VMware vCenter Server option. Then select the listed VMware vCenter Server corresponding to this "VMware vCenter Agentless" cluster.

      If the selected VMware vCenter Server does not correspond to the "VMware vCenter Agentless" cluster whose group contains the policy, Kaspersky Security does not protect virtual machines.

    • If you are configuring a policy located in any other folder or administration group, select the Entire protected infrastructure option.
  5. Click OK in the Choice of protected infrastructure window and, in the opened window, confirm the change to the protected infrastructure.
  6. In the Properties: <Policy name> window, click OK.
