Installing the application

Installation of Kaspersky Security consists of the following steps:

1. Installation of the Kaspersky Security administration plug-in and Integration Server.
2. Configuring the settings for connecting the Integration Server to one or several VMware vCenter Servers.
3. Deploying protection in the VMware virtual infrastructure. To deploy protection in the virtual infrastructure, you must perform the following actions:
   1. Register Kaspersky Security services in VMware NSX Manager: the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection) and the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection). The settings required for registration and deployment of Kaspersky Security services are entered through a Wizard that is started from the Integration Server Management Console.

      When you have finished entering the settings, Integration Server registers the Kaspersky Security services in VMware NSX Manager.

   2. Make sure that registration of Kaspersky Security services completed successfully.
   3. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, configure an NSX Security Group.
   4. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, configure an NSX Security Policy and apply the security policy to an NSX security group or groups.
   5. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, deploy SVMs with the File Anti-Virus and Network Threat Detection components on VMware ESXi hypervisors.

      After SVMs are deployed, the Integration Server sends each new SVM the configuration settings that you specified when you registered Kaspersky Security services.

4. Getting started.

   After the application is installed, you must configure application settings by using a policy, activate the application on all new SVMs, and make sure that the application databases have been updated on all new SVMs.
