Configuring HSM system settings via the Administration Plug-in

If you do not use an HSM system, don’t change the default value for the Hierarchical storage access type setting (Non-HSM system).

To configure access to the hierarchical storage, you have to specify the way the HSM system determines the location of the file being scanned. You can find this information in the manuals of the HSM system being used.

To define the access type for the hierarchical storage:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure the task.
3. Select the Policies tab.
4. Double-click the policy name you want to configure.
5. In the Properties: <Policy name> window that opens, select the Application settings section.
6. In the Scalability, interface and scan settings subsection, click the Settings button.

   The Advanced application settings window opens.

7. Open the Hierarchical storage tab.
8. Select the option for accessing the HSM system:
   • Non-HSM system.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not use HSM system settings while running the On-Demand Scan task.

     This option is selected by default.

   • HSM system uses reparse points.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server uses reparse points for scanning files in remote storage while running the On-Demand Scan task.

   • HSM system uses extended file attributes.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server uses extended file attributes to scan files in remote storage while running the On-Demand Scan task.

   • Unknown HSM system.
     

     Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans all files as files located in remote storage while running the On-Demand Scan task.

     This option is not recommended.

     If you specify the wrong version or select the Unknown HSM system option, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server may incorrectly determine the location of objects, which will increase the time it takes to process objects.

9. Click OK.

The configured HSM system settings are saved.
