Upgrading from a previous version of the application
Upgrading from a previous version of the application
You can upgrade the following application versions to Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Agentless:
- Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Agentless
- Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless
- Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Agentless
- Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Agentless
Before starting the application update, you need to do the following:
- Download all SVM image files from the Kaspersky website. About validating the SVM image in the application page in the Knowledge Base.
- Place all SVM image files in the same folder on a network resource that is accessible over the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. For example, you can publish SVM images on the Kaspersky Security Center Web Server.
- Make sure that the ports that are required for operation of the application are open in the settings of the network equipment or software used for monitoring traffic.
- Make sure that you have configured the settings of the accounts that are required for installation and operation of the application.
- If you are planning to use network data storage for SVMs, create a network folder for hosting the network data storage and a user account for connecting SVMs. Network data storage is used for storing backup copies of files that have been moved to Backups on SVMs. The amount of space necessary for the network data storage can be estimated based on the following formula: (N+1) GB, where N is the number of SVMs that connect to the network data storage.
The application upgrade procedure depends on the type of infrastructure in which the previous version of the application was installed. The following application upgrade options are available:
- Upgrading the application installed in an infrastructure managed by a VMware vCenter Server and VMware NSX Manager
- Upgrading the application installed in an infrastructure managed by a VMware vCenter Server and VMware vShield Manager, with migration to the VMware NSX platform
