ID 59759

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

If you do not want to install the File Threat Protection component, clear the Register the file system protection service check box.

If you want to install the File Threat Protection component, follow these steps depending on the type of VMware NSX Manager you use (VMware NSX-T Manager or VMware NSX-V Manager):

  • If you deploy Kaspersky Security in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-T Manager, specify the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the File Threat Protection component at this step. The Integration Server will register Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service with a set of different configurations of SVM images in VMware NSX Manager. After registration finishes, you can deploy the file system protection service on VMware clusters. During deployment, you select the SVM image of the desired configuration. As a result, SVMs with the File Threat Protection component will be deployed from the selected image.
  • If you deploy Kaspersky Security in the infrastructure managed by VMware NSX-V Manager, select the desired configuration of the SVM image with the File Threat Protection component at this step. The Integration Server will register Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service with the specified SVM image in VMware NSX Manager. After registration finishes, you can deploy the file system protection service on VMware clusters. As a result, SVMs will be deployed from the specified image.

All files of the SVM image with the File 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. Enter the address of the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the File Threat Protection component located on a network resource accessible via HTTP or HTTPS.
  2. 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 File Threat Protection component that are available for deployment. You can select the desired SVM configuration while deploying Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service.

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

To select an SVM image to deploy:

  1. Enter the address of the description file (XML file) of the SVM images with the File 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.
  2. 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. SVM configuration settings – the number of processors and amount 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.
