Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

About the upgrade of the Protection Server

The Protection Server is updated by deploying SVMs with the new version of the Protection Server in the virtual infrastructure. You can deploy SVMs in the following ways:

• Using the Integration Server Web Console.
• Using the Integration Server Console.
• Without using the Integration Server management consoles, using the Integration Server REST API (open a description of REST API requests).

You can also deploy SVMs using the virtual infrastructure tools and then configure SVM settings using the klconfig script API manually or using automation tools.

If you are using a licensing scheme based on the number of cores in physical processors on the hypervisors, then after the solution is activated on a new SVM, Kaspersky Security may send Kaspersky Security Center an event indicating that the license restriction has been exceeded. You can ignore this event.

SVMs with the previous version of the Protection Server continue to work on hypervisors. They allow legacy Light Agents to run on virtual machines that have not yet been updated.

If you have updated all Light Agents, you can remove the SVM with the previous version of Protection Server.

SVMs that have been removed continue to be displayed in the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center. When the period specified in Kaspersky Security Center settings elapses (see Kaspersky Security Center help for details), the SVMs are automatically removed from the Administration Console.

You can manually remove SVMs with the previous version of the Protection Server from the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center as soon as the upgrade process has been completed.
