After Kaspersky Security has been installed in the VMware virtual infrastructure, SVMs send their details to Kaspersky Security Center. Based on this information, Kaspersky Security Center combines the SVMs deployed on VMware ESXi hypervisors managed by a single VMware vCenter Server into a KSC cluster.
The KSC cluster is assigned the name VMware vCenter '<name>' (<IP address>) Agentless, where:
- <name> is the name of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the KSC cluster. If the name of the VMware vCenter server is not defined or matches its IP address, the name is omitted.
- <IP address> is the IP address of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the KSC cluster.
Kaspersky Security Center creates a separate administration group for each KSC cluster in the Managed devices folder of the Administration Console and assigns the name of the KSC cluster to this group. When an administration group with the name of a KSC cluster is selected in the console tree, the Devices tab in the workspace displays a list of SVMs belonging to this KSC cluster.
You can open the cluster properties window by selecting the Clusters and server arrays subfolder within the folder of the group named after the KSC cluster. In the properties window of the KSC cluster, you can view the following:
- List of SVMs within a KSC cluster.
- List of virtual machines within a KSC cluster protected infrastructure, i.e., virtual machines managed by the VMware vCenter Server corresponding to the KSC cluster.
- List of tasks created for SVMs of this KSC cluster.
After installation of the Kaspersky Security administration plug-in, the application database update task, Full Scan task and default policy are automatically created in the Managed devices folder.
