To update SVMs with Kaspersky Security components in the virtual infrastructure:

  1. Perform the change settings of Kaspersky Security procedure for each VMware vCenter Server that manages the operation of SVMs with the previous version of the application. During the procedure, specify the addresses of SVM images with the new version of Kaspersky Security components.

    After the Reconfiguration Wizard completes, the Integration Server re-registers the Kaspersky Security services with the new settings.

  2. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, perform one of the following actions:
    • If the VMware cluster included VMware ESXi 5.5 hypervisors and you removed deployed Kaspersky Security services prior to starting the update of the application, deploy Kaspersky Security services on the cluster.
    • If the VMware cluster did not include VMware ESXi 5.5 hypervisors, update the Kaspersky Security services deployed on the cluster (Networking & Security / Installation and Upgrade section, Service Deployments tab, Upgrade action).

After SVMs are updated, in Kaspersky Security Center a new KSC cluster is created for each VMware vCenter server that manages SVMs with the new version of Kaspersky Security. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, in the Managed devices folder, an administration group is created for each new KSC cluster.

The new KSC cluster and the administration group created for it are assigned the name VMware vCenter '<name>' (<IP address>) Agentless, where:

  • <name> is the name of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the new 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 new KSC cluster.

The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console also displays the administration group created for the KSC cluster that contains SVMs with the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

The KSC cluster for the previous version of the application and the administration group created for it are named VMware vCenter "<name>" (<IP address>), where:

  • <name> is the name of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the KSC cluster for the previous version of the application. 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 for the previous version of the application.
