Installing the application

Installation of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent in the virtual infrastructure consists of the following stages:

  1. Installing the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins, Integration Server, and Integration Server Management Console.
    • The following administration plug-ins are used to manage the application via Kaspersky Security Center:
      • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent for Windows
      • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent for Linux
      • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Light Agent – Protection Server

      Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins must be installed on the computer on which Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.

    • The Integration Server must be installed on the computer on which the Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center is installed.
    • The Integration Server Management Console must be installed on the computer on which the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center is installed.

    After installing the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins, the Integration Server and the Integration Server Management Console, it is recommended to run the download updates to the repository task in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console and verify that the task completed successfully. For details see Kaspersky Security Center manuals.

    When the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console starts for the first time after the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins are installed, the Quick Start Wizard for the managed application is automatically started for each installed plug-in. The wizard results in the creation of a virus scan task, Protection Server database update task, and the default policy for the Protection Server.

  2. Installing the Protection Server component of Kaspersky Security. The Protection Server component is installed by deploying SVMs on hypervisors.
  3. Preparing the Protection Server component for operation.
  4. Installing the Network Agent component of Kaspersky Security Center. To manage the Light Agent component through Kaspersky Security Center, you must install Network Agent on virtual machines and virtual machine templates.
