Creating an application database update task

To create an application database update task:

1. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
2. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to create a task for all SVMs, select the Managed devices folder of the console tree. In the workspace, select the Tasks tab.
   • If you want to create a task for SVMs of one KSC cluster, in the Managed devices folder of the console tree select the administration group containing this KSC cluster. In the workspace, select the Tasks tab.
   • If you want to create a task for one or several SVMs, select the Tasks folder of the console tree.
3. Click the Create task button to launch the task creation wizard.
4. During the first step of the Wizard, select Update as the type of task for Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Agentless. Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.
5. If you have started the task creation wizard from the Tasks folder, specify the method of selection of the SVMs for which you are creating the task. You can select SVMs from the list of virtual machines discovered by the Administration Server, manually specify the SVM addresses, import a list of SVMs from a file, or specify a previously configured selection of SVMs (for details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation). Depending on the specified method of SVM selection, perform one of the following operations in the window that opens:
   • In the list of detected virtual machines, specify the SVMs on which you want to create the task. To do so, select check boxes in the list on the left of the name of the relevant SVMs.
   • Click the Add or Add IP range button and manually specify the addresses of SVMs.
   • Click the Import button, and in the window that opens select the TXT file containing the list of SVM addresses.
   • Click the Browse button and in the window that opens specify the name of the selection containing SVMs on which you want to create the task.

   Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.

6. In Scheduled launch field, select When new updates are downloaded to the repository. Configure the remaining task launch schedule settings. For more information about the task launch schedule settings, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation. Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.
7. In the Name field, enter the name of the application database update task. Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.
8. If you want the task to start as soon as the Task Wizard finishes, select the Run task when the wizard is complete check box. Finish the New Task Wizard. The newly created application database update task will appear in the list of tasks.

The task will start every time an update package is downloaded to the Administration Server repository, and will distribute and install application database updates on SVMs.

After Kaspersky Security has been installed or upgraded, SVMs relay information to Kaspersky Security Center regarding the type of the databases required for the operation of the application. If Kaspersky Security Center has not yet downloaded the necessary databases to the storage when the database update task is started, the task could end with an error. If this is the case, you can manually start the download updates to the storage task (for details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation), wait for it to complete, and then manually start the database update task.
