Preparing for application installation

Before installing Kaspersky Security components, perform the following:

• Check whether the Kaspersky Security Center components and VMware components meet the software requirements for installation of Kaspersky Security.
• Prepare the VMware virtual infrastructure for application installation.
• Download all SVM image files from the Kaspersky Lab website.
• Make sure that the SVM images were received from a trusted source. For more detailed information about validating the SVM image, please refer to the application page in the Knowledge Base.
• Place all SVM image files in the same folder on a network resource that is accessible over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. For example, you can publish SVM images on the Kaspersky Security Center Web Server.
• In the settings of the network equipment or software used for monitoring traffic, open the ports that are required for operation of the application.
• Configure the settings of the user accounts of the VMware vCenter Server and VMware NSX Manager that are required for installation and operation of the application.
