Removing the Windows-based Integration Server and Integration Server Console
The procedure for removing the Windows-based Integration Server depends on which version of Kaspersky Security Center you are using to manage the Kaspersky Security solution:
- If you are using Kaspersky Security Center Windows, and in accordance with the recommendations of Kaspersky experts, you used the Kaspersky Security components installation wizard to install the Integration Server and Integration Server Console, we recommend removing using the wizard as well.
You can remove the Integration Server and Integration Server Console by using the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard in interactive mode or in silent mode.
- If you are using Kaspersky Security Center Linux, the Kaspersky Security Components Installation Wizard cannot be used to remove the Integration Server and Integration Server Console. Removal is performed manually.
You can remove the Integration Server without preserving the data used by the Integration Server.
If you remove the Integration Server and preserve its data, the following data of the Integration Server will be saved:
- The SSL certificate used to establish a secure connection to the Integration Server.
- Internal accounts of the Integration Server, which are used to connect management consoles, SVMs, and Light Agents to the Integration Server.
- Settings for connecting the Integration Server to hypervisors, virtual infrastructure administration servers, NSX Manager, Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
- if the Kaspersky Security solution is used in multi-tenancy mode: a list of registered tenants and information about the time that virtual machines were protected by the solution.
- SVM service data.
- Trace files of the Integration Server and Integration Server Console.
A backup copy of the Integration Server data from the previous version of Kaspersky Security can also be saved if you saved a backup copy of the database and settings and the certificate of the Integration Server in the default folder (%ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\VIISLA\Backup\) when upgrading the solution to Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent.
The saved data and settings are automatically used when you install the Integration Server again.
If you remove the Integration Server without preserving its data, all data used in the operation of the Integration Server, as well as the backup copy of the Integration Server data from the previous version of Kaspersky Security, are removed along with the Integration Server if the backup copy is located in the default folder.
If, when saving a backup copy of the Integration Server data from the previous version of Kaspersky Security, you specified a different folder than the default folder, then when you remove the Integration Server, the backup copy of the data is not deleted automatically. You can delete a backup copy of Integration Server data manually.
