Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Configuring settings for downloading updates to SVMs

You can configure the following settings for downloading database and application module updates to SVMs:

  • Enable updating of application modules of Kaspersky Security components.

    If updating application modules is enabled, the Protection Server adds application module updates of Kaspersky Security components to the update package.

    Updates to Light Agent application modules are installed automatically on protected virtual machines. To install Protection Server application module updates, use the Solution module update on the SVM task.

  • Select the versions of Light Agents for which the Protection Server will receive updates. By default, an update package contains the database updates required for the operation of the Protection Server, Light Agent for Linux, and Light Agent for Windows.

    Only Light Agents for which database updates are downloaded to this SVM can connect to the SVM.

    If the current version of the solution supports more than one version of Light Agent for Linux or Light Agent for Windows, make sure that the update settings in the Protection Server policy specify the version of Light Agent that you are using.

You can use the Web Console or the Administration Console to configure update download settings in a Protection Server policy.

How to configure settings for downloading updates to SVMs in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console

To configure the downloading of updates on an SVM:

  1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices)Policies and policy profiles.

    A list of policies opens.

  2. Select the administration group containing the SVM with the Protection Server whose settings you want to configure. To do so, click the link in the Current path field located above the list of policies and policy profiles, and select an administration group in the window that opens.

    The list displays only the policies configured for the selected administration group.

  3. Click on the name of the desired policy in the list.
  4. In the policy properties window that opens, select the Application settings tab and go to the Update settings section.
  5. In the right part of the window, configure the Update solution modules setting.

    Enables/disables receiving updates for Kaspersky Security application modules along with updates to the solution databases.

    If the check box is selected, the Protection Server receives updates of application modules for Kaspersky Security components along with database updates from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server storage.

    This check box is cleared by default.

    If you edit a setting, the new value is applied the next time the database update task on the Protection Server runs.

  6. If necessary, use the check boxes to configure the list of versions of Light Agents for which the Protection Server will receive updates. At least one version must be selected.

    The list contains the supported versions of Light Agents. If the version of the Light Agent you want to receive updates for is not listed, click the Refresh button.

  7. Click the Save button.

How to configure settings for downloading updates to SVMs in Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console

To configure the downloading of updates on an SVM:

  1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group containing the SVM with the Protection Server whose settings you want to configure.
  2. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  3. Select a Protection Server policy in the list of policies and right-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
  4. In the policy properties window, select the Update settings section in the list on the left.
  5. In the right part of the window, configure the Update solution modules setting.

    Enables/disables receiving updates for Kaspersky Security application modules along with updates to the solution databases.

    If the check box is selected, the Protection Server receives updates of application modules for Kaspersky Security components along with database updates from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server storage.

    This check box is cleared by default.

    If you edit a setting, the new value is applied the next time the database update task on the Protection Server runs.

  6. If necessary, use the check boxes to configure the list of versions of Light Agents for which the Protection Server will receive updates. At least one version must be selected.

    The list contains the supported versions of Light Agents. If the version of the Light Agent you want to receive updates for is not listed, click the Refresh button.

  7. Click the Apply button.

If you have modified the list of Light Agent versions for which the Protection Server must get updates, we recommend starting the database update process after completing the synchronization of the Network Agent on the SVM with the Administration Server (by default, the synchronization period is 15 minutes after changing the policy settings).
