Deploying SVMs with the File Threat Protection and Network Threat Protection components

To deploy SVMs with Kaspersky Security components on VMware ESXi hypervisors, you need to deploy Kaspersky Security services on VMware clusters. Deployment of Kaspersky Security services is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console.

To deploy SVMs with Kaspersky Security components:

  1. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, start the Deployment Wizard for network services and protection services for virtual machines (the Networking & Security → Installation and Upgrade section on the Service Deployments tab).
  2. Use the Wizard to specify the following settings:
    1. In the table, select the service that you need to deploy:
      • Kaspersky File Antimalware Protection service, if you want to deploy an SVM with the File Threat Protection component
      • Kaspersky Network Protection service, if you want to deploy an SVM with the Network Threat Protection component

      You can select both Kaspersky Security services if you need to deploy an SVM with the File Threat Protection component and an SVM with the Network Threat Protection component on the same hypervisors and assign the same settings to them. If the SVM settings or the hypervisors on which the SVMs will be deployed must be different, you need to separately deploy the Kaspersky Security services.

    2. Select one or more VMware clusters on which you want to deploy SVMs with Kaspersky Security components.
    3. If required, change the default settings for all SVMs that will be deployed on hypervisors within every selected VMware cluster:
      • Network that will be used by SVMs.
      • Storage for SVM deployment.
      • Method of assigning IP addresses. By default, SVMs receive network settings via the DHCP protocol. You can configure a static pool of IP addresses that will be used for assigning IP addresses to the SVMs.
  3. Finish the Wizard and wait for deployment of Kaspersky Security services to complete.

SVMs with the File Threat Protection component and SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component will be deployed on each hypervisor within each VMware cluster that you selected.
