Removing the Kaspersky Security components in VMware virtual infrastructure

To remove the File Anti-Virus component in a VMware virtual infrastructure, you must perform the following actions:

1. Remove all SVMs with the File Anti-Virus component on VMware clusters.

   SVMs are removed by removing the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection) deployed on VMware clusters.

   Removal is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console (in the Networking & Security / Installation and Upgrade section on the Service Deployments tab). In the list of deployed network services and protection services for virtual machines, you must remove the Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service deployed on the clusters from which you want to remove the SVMs (for details, please refer to the Knowledge Base).

2. Remove the NSX Security Policy that is configured to use the file system protection service (Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection).

   Deletion of an NSX Security Policy is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console (in the Networking & Security / Service Composer section on the Security Policies tab). You must perform the Actions / Delete action for the selected policy.

   You can also delete the NSX Security Group that includes the protected virtual machines.

   Deletion of an NSX Security Group is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console (in the Networking & Security / Service Composer section on the Security Groups tab).

   For details about deleting an NSX Security Policy or NSX Security Group, please refer to the Knowledge Base.
