Selecting SVM for reconfiguration

At this step, you must select the SVM or SVMs that you want to reconfigure.

The table displays information about the virtual infrastructures to which connections are configured for the Integration Server. The table also contains information about deployed SVMs. Each row of the table displays the following information about the virtual infrastructure object:

  • Name/Address

    This column contains the IP addresses or fully qualified domain names (FQDN) of the virtual infrastructure objects to which the Integration Server connects, and the names of the SVMs deployed on the hypervisors.

    Depending on the type of virtual infrastructure, the column may display:

    • IP address or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the virtual infrastructure administration server
    • IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the hypervisor
    • IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the Keystone microservice
    • OpenStack project and domain name.
  • Status

    This column contains information about the status of the Integration Server's connection to the virtual infrastructure, the state of the infrastructure objects to which the connection is made, and the state of the SVMs deployed in the infrastructure.

    If the Integration Server is not connected to the virtual infrastructure object, the column displays an error message.

  • SVM version

    This column contains the SVM version number.

  • Infrastructure object type

    The column contains the type of the virtual infrastructure object that the Integration Server will connect to.

You can search the list of virtual infrastructure objects based on the Name/Address column. The table displays only those virtual infrastructure objects that meet the search criteria. To reset the search results, delete the contents of the search field.

You can update the list of virtual infrastructure objects using the Refresh button above the table. When updating a list, the Integration Server verifies the SSL certificates or fingerprints of the public key, just like what happens when adding virtual infrastructure objects to the list.

If the virtual infrastructure in which you want to reconfigure the SVM is not in the list, you need to configure a connection from the Integration Server to this virtual infrastructure.

To selecting an SVM for reconfiguration,

In the table, select the check boxes to the left of the names of the SVMs you want to reconfigure.

If SVMs are being reconfigured in an infrastructure based on the OpenStack platform, VK Cloud platform, or TIONIX Cloud Platform, simultaneous reconfiguration of SVMs deployed in different infrastructures is not supported. You can reconfigure SVMs in only one of these infrastructures at a time, or in one or more infrastructures of other types.

SVMs in OpenStack projects that are running on different Keystone microservices cannot be reconfigured simultaneously. You can simultaneously reconfigure SVMs deployed in OpenStack projects that are running on the same Keystone microservice.

Finishing SVM reconfiguration

This step displays information about the results of SVM reconfiguration.

The wizard displays links that you can use to open a brief report and the SVM Management Wizard log.

The brief report contains the following information:

  • Addresses of hypervisors whose SVM configuration was changed, or OpenStack project names containing the deployed SVMs that have been reconfigured (depending on type of the virtual infrastructure).
  • Names of SVMs that have been reconfigured.
  • Brief description of the completed stages of reconfiguration of each SVM, including the start and end times of each stage. If an error occurred during a particular stage, the relevant information is reflected in the report.

The brief report is saved in a temporary file. To be able to use information from the report later, save the log file in a permanent storage location.

The SVM Management Wizard log saves information specified by you at every step of the wizard. If errors occur during reconfiguration of SVMs, you can use the wizard log when contacting Technical Support.

The SVM Management Wizard log is saved on the device where the wizard was launched, in the file %LOCALAPPDATA%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky VIISLA Console\logs\KasperskyDeployWizard_<file creation date and time>.log and does not contain account passwords. A new log file is created each time the wizard starts.
