Files required for installing the solution
Before you begin installing the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to download the files necessary for the installation and operation of the solution.
Kaspersky Security components installation wizard and the Windows-based Integration Server
The Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard is required for the following tasks:
- installing, updating and removing the Windows-based Integration Server and Integration Server Console
- downloading from the Kaspersky website the SVM images required for installing the Protection Server.
To start the Kaspersky Security components installation wizard, you will need the ksvla-components_<solution version number>_mlg.exe file. You can download this file from the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section (Build → Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard).
Linux-based Integration Server
Installation requires the ksvla-viis_<version number>-<build number>_amd64.deb package. You can download this file from the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section.
SVM images
To install the Protection Server, you need an SVM image file and an image description file (a file in XML format). The Kaspersky Security distribution kit includes the following archives for installing the Protection Server in virtual infrastructures of various types:
- The ksvla-svm_microsoft-hyper-v_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in a Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure; the archive contains an SVM image in VHDX format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
- The ksvla-svm_xenserver_numa-vserver_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in XenServer and Numa vServer infrastructures; the archive contains an SVM image in XVA format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
- The ksvla-svm_vmware-vsphere_<solution version number>_mlg.zip file is used to install the Protection Server in a VMware vSphere infrastructure; the archive contains an SVM image in OVA format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
- The archive ksvla-svm_kvm_based_<solution version number>_mlg.zip is used to install the Protection Server in the infrastructures based on KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), OpenStack, VK Cloud platform, TIONIX Cloud Platform, Proxmox VE, Basis, Skala-R, HUAWEI FusionSphere, Nutanix Acropolis, Alt Virtualization Server and Astra Linux. The archive contains an SVM image in QCOW2 format and an image description file, ksvla-svm_manifest_<solution version number>.xml.
You can download archives containing SVM images and SVM image description files using the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard. The archives are also available on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section.
The required placement of the resulting SVM image file and image description file (XML file) depends on the SVM deployment method that you plan to use:
- If you plan to deploy using Integration Server Web Console, the SVM image file and image description file must be placed on the device where the Integration Server is installed, into a single folder that the Integration Server has read access to.
- If you plan to deploy using Integration Server Console, the SVM image file and image description file must be placed into the same folder on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed, or into the same folder on a network resource to which the user account performing the installation has read access.
Light Agent for Linux
You can download the files required to install Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux from the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux section. For more information about the distribution kit of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, see the application help of the relevant version.
Light Agent for Windows
You can download the files required to install Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows from the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows section. For more information about the distribution kit of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, see the application help of the relevant version.
Kaspersky Security Center and Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent
To install and manage the operation of the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to install Kaspersky Security Center.
For Light Agent components installed on virtual machines to interact with Kaspersky Security Center, you must install Network Agent on the virtual machines where Light Agent will be installed.
You can download the files required to install Kaspersky Security Center and Network Agent on the Kaspersky website in the Kaspersky Security Center section. For more information on installing Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Management MMC plug-ins
To manage solution components through Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, you need to install management MMC plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console is installed.
You can download MMC plug-in installation files from the Kaspersky website:
- You can find the klcfginst.msi installation file of the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent – Protection Server MMC plug-in in the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization | Light Agent section.
- You can find the installation file of the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux MMC plug-in in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux section.
- You can find the installation file of the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows MMC plug-in in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows section.
To install and update MMC plug-ins, you can also use the list of Kaspersky applications in the Administration Console (Additional → Remote installation → Installation packages → Additional actions → View current versions of Kaspersky applications).
Management web plug-ins
To manage solution components via Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you need to install management web plug-ins on the device where Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is installed.
To install web plug-ins, you can use the list of available plug-ins in the Web Console (Settings → Web plug-ins → Add) or download archives for installing management web plug-ins from the Kaspersky website:
- The ksvla-web_plugin_svm_<version number>_mlg.zip archive for installing the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent – Protection Server web plug-in.
- The ksvla-web_plugin_viis_<version number>_mlg.zip archive for installing the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent – Integration Server web plug-in.
- Archives for installing the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux web plug-in and the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows web plug-in.
