Step 3. Selecting the task scope

At this step, you can configure the task scope by using one of the following methods:

• Specify the virtual machines and/or virtual machine templates whose files you want to scan.
• Specify one or multiple NSX Security Groups that include the virtual machines. Kaspersky Security will scan the files of all virtual machines that are included in the specified NSX Security Groups.

If you want to include virtual machines and/or virtual machine templates into the task scope, in the drop-down list in the upper part of the window, select the Virtual infrastructure objects option (this option is selected by default). The window displays the VMware virtual infrastructure managed by one VMware vCenter server in the form of an object tree: VMware vCenter server, Datacenter objects, VMware clusters, resource pools, vApp objects and virtual machines.

Select check boxes opposite those virtual machines that you want to scan as part of the scan task being created. You can specify individual virtual machines or their combinations.

If the virtual infrastructure contains two or more virtual machines with the same ID (vmID), only one virtual machine appears in the object tree. If this virtual machine is selected to be scanned using the custom scan task, the task will be performed on all virtual machines that have the same ID (vmID).

If you want to include all virtual machines within one or multiple NSX Security Groups into the task scope, in the drop-down list in the upper part of the window, select the NSX Security Groups option.

Select the check boxes for NSX Security Groups whose virtual machines you want to scan as part of the task being created.

If one or several NSX Security Groups make up the task scope, when running this task Kaspersky Security does not scan virtual machine templates even if the Scan virtual machine templates check box is selected in the scan settings.

Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.
