Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Selecting the SVM image

At this step, select the file of the SVM image for deployment. The SVM image file and SVM image description file (in XML format) must be placed on the device where the Integration Server is installed, into a single folder that the Integration Server has read access to.

To specify the SVM image, in the field, enter the path to the SVM image description file (in XML format) relative to the file system of the device on which the Integration Server is installed, and click the Select button.

The Wizard automatically selects the required SVM image file:

• An XVA file for deployment on a XenServer hypervisor or on a Numa vServer hypervisor.
• An OVA file for deployment on a VMware ESXi hypervisor.
• A QCOW2 file for deployment on a KVM hypervisor (including on a KVM hypervisor running on OpenStack platform, Astra Linux, VK Cloud Platform or TIONIX Cloud Platform), on a Proxmox VE hypervisor, on a R-Virtualization hypervisor, on a HUAWEI FusionCompute CNA hypervisor, on a Nutanix AHV hypervisor, or on an ALT Virtualization Server platform basic hypervisor.

The window displays the following information about the selected image:

• Vendor is the name of the vendor of the solution that the SVM is part of.
• Publisher is the name of the publisher of the solution that the SVM is part of. If the image is authentic, the Publisher field displays the value AO Kaspersky Lab.

  If the authenticity of the image has not been verified, an error message is displayed at the top of the window, and Unknown is displayed in the Publisher field.

  If the authenticity of the image has not been verified, it is recommended to use a different image for SVM deployment. To do this, you need to re-download the archive with the files necessary for SVM deployment.

• Solution name is the name of the solution that the SVM is part of.
• SVM version is the SVM version number.
• Description is a brief description of the SVM image.
• Virtual drive size is the amount of disk space required to deploy the SVM.

It is recommended to validate the SVM image. To do so, click the Validate button in the SVM image integrity check section. The verification results are displayed in the window as follows:

• If the image file integrity check is successful, the Completed successfully message is displayed.
• If the image file gets modified or corrupted while being transmitted from the publisher to the end user or if the image format is not supported, the upper part of the window shows an error message and the SVM image integrity check section displays information about the detected problem.

If an SVM image file integrity check ended with an error, it is recommended to use a different image for SVM deployment. To do this, you need to re-download the archive with the files necessary for SVM deployment.

If the authenticity of an image has been verified and the image file integrity check completed successfully, proceed to the next step of the Wizard.

If the authenticity of an image has not been verified or an image file integrity check has not been performed or ended with an error but you accept the risk and want to use the selected SVM image, to proceed to the next step of the Wizard you need to select the check box located in the lower part of the window.
