Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent protects virtual machines running Linux guest operating systems; the Light Agent for Windows component is not included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent. If you want to protect virtual machines running Windows guest operating systems, you need to use the Light Agent for Windows component included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent.
For Light Agents for Windows to continue working, you must also use the SVM with the Protection Server included in Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent. Light Agent can connect only to an SVM on which the version of the Protection Server is compatible with the version of the Light Agent.
If you did not remove Light Agents for Windows and SVMs of version 5.2 when updating Kaspersky Security to version 6.0, you can update Kaspersky Security to version 6.1 and continue using Light Agents for Windows and SVMs of version 5.2. To do this, you need to:
- Complete the Kaspersky Security update procedure without removing Light Agents for Windows and SVMs of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent from virtual machines.
- Configure the connection of Light Agents for Windows to the updated Integration Server.
- Configure the connection of SVMs with the previous version of the Protection Server to the updated Integration Server.
You can configure the connection using a policy for Light Agent for Windows and a policy for Protection Server version 5.2. For more information, see the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent Help.
