Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

SVM deployment using the Integration Server Web Console

Before deployment, you need to download the SVM images and SVM image description files.

To deploy an SVM using Integration Server Web Console, you need to do the following:

  1. Configure the connection of the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure in which you want to deploy the SVM.
  2. Create and run an SVM deployment task for the Integration Server in the selected infrastructure.

After it starts, the task appears in the task list in Integration Server Web Console, in the SVM management section, and is added to the task queue on the Integration Server. You can view information about each task and its execution status.

Upon successful completion of the task, the SVM is deployed to the selected infrastructure.

To configure the Integration Server's connection to the virtual infrastructure:

  1. Open Integration Server Web Console and connect to the Integration Server.
  2. Go to the List of virtual infrastructures section.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. In the Add virtual infrastructure window that opens, specify the following required settings:
    • Infrastructure object type

      Type of the virtual infrastructure object that the Integration Server will connect to.

      Depending on the type of virtual infrastructure, select a hypervisor, virtual infrastructure administration server, or Keystone microservice.

    • Protocol

      Protocol used to connect the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure. By default, HTTPS protocol is used.

      The Protocol field is displayed if you are configuring a connection to a virtual infrastructure based on the OpenStack platform, VK Cloud platform or TIONIX Cloud Platform.

    • Infrastructure object address

      Address of the virtual infrastructure object that the Integration Server will connect to. Depending on the type of virtual infrastructure, you need to specify the hypervisor address or the address of the virtual infrastructure administration server. To connect to an OpenStack-based infrastructure, you need to specify the address of the Keystone microservice.

      The address can be specified as the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

      In this field, you can also specify the port used to connect to the virtual infrastructure object in the format <IP address>:<port>.

      If you are configuring a connection to Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisors that are part of a hypervisor cluster managed by the Windows Failover Clustering service, you can specify the address of the cluster. All hypervisors that are part of the cluster will be added to the list.

      If you are using the Linux-based Integration Server, SVM deployment in a virtual infrastructure based on Microsoft Hyper-V is not supported.

      If you are configuring a connection to VMware ESXi hypervisors managed by VMware vCenter Servers running in Linked mode, you can specify the address of any of these VMware vCenter Servers. All the hypervisors running on VMware vCenter servers in Linked mode will be added to the list.

      If you are configuring a connection to an infrastructure managed by Nutanix Prism Element, you need to specify the Nutanix Prism Element address. If the infrastructure is managed by Nutanix Prism Central, specify the Nutanix Prism Central address. All Nutanix Prism Element servers managed by Nutanix Prism Central will be added to the list.

    • Account settings for connecting to the infrastructure with administrator rights:
      • OpenStack domain

        Name of the OpenStack domain that contains an account used to connect the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure.

        The OpenStack domain field is displayed if you are configuring a connection to a virtual infrastructure based on the OpenStack platform, VK Cloud platform or TIONIX Cloud Platform.

      • User name

        Name of the user account that the Integration Server uses to connect to the virtual infrastructure during SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration. This account must have privileges that are sufficient for SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration.

      • Password

        Password of the user account that the Integration Server uses to connect to the virtual infrastructure during SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration.

  5. In a virtual infrastructure based on XenServer, VMware vSphere, KVM, Proxmox VE, Basis, Skala-R, HUAWEI FusionSphere, Nutanix Acropolis, OpenStack, Alt Virtualization Server, Astra Linux, Numa vServer, VK Cloud platform, or TIONIX Cloud Platform, we also recommend specifying an account that has limited rights to perform actions in the virtual infrastructure. Under this account, the Integration Server will connect to the virtual infrastructure while Kaspersky Security is running in order to get information about SVMs available for connection and to distribute Light Agents between SVMs.

    To set restricted permissions for a user account:

    1. Click Add an account with restricted permissions in the Account with restricted permissions section.
    2. In the window that opens, specify the account name and password.
    3. Click the Save button.

    If an account with restricted permissions is not configured the Integration Server uses the same user account that is used for SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration, to connect to the virtual infrastructure while Kaspersky Security is running.

    In a virtual infrastructure running on the Microsoft Hyper-V platform, you can connect to the virtual infrastructure during Kaspersky Security operation only by using the same user account that is used for SVM deployment, removal and reconfiguration.

  6. In a virtual infrastructure based on the VMware vSphere platform, you can configure the use of VMware NSX Manager by the Kaspersky Security solution:
    1. Click the Specify VMware NSX Manager connection settings button in the VMware NSX Manager block.
    2. This opens a window; in that window, specify the following settings:
      • Address

        New IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the VMware NSX Manager.

        If your VMware NSX Manager virtual infrastructure is clustered, specify the virtual IP address of the cluster. First, you need to assign a virtual IP address and certificate to the cluster (for more information on configuring a VMware NSX Manager cluster, see the VMware documentation).

      • User name

        Name of the account that the Integration Server uses to connect to VMware NSX Manager. A VMware NSX Manager account that has been assigned the Enterprise Administrator role is required.

      • Password

        Password of the account that the Integration Server uses to connect to VMware NSX Manager.

    3. Click the Save button in the VMware NSX Manager settings window.
  7. Click the Save button in the Add virtual infrastructure window.

    The Integration Server adds the selected virtual infrastructure objects to the list and attempts to establish a connection.

    The Integration Server verifies the authenticity of all virtual infrastructure objects with which the connection is established.

    Authenticity is not verified for a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor.

    For Keystone microservices, authenticity is verified only when using the HTTPS protocol to connect the Integration Server to the virtual infrastructure.

    To verify authenticity, the Integration Server receives an SSL certificate or fingerprint of the public key from each virtual infrastructure object and verifies them.

    If the authenticity of the received certificate(s) cannot be established, the Verify certificate window opens with a message about this. Click the link in this window to view the details of the received certificate. If the certificate complies with the security policy of your organization, you can confirm the authenticity of the certificate and continue connecting to the virtual infrastructure object. The received certificate will be installed as a trusted certificate on the device where the Integration Server is installed. If you do not consider this certificate to be authentic, click the Cancel connection button in the Verify certificate window to disconnect, and replace the certificate with a new one.

    If the authenticity of the open key could not be established, the Verify public key fingerprint window opens with a message about this. You can confirm the authenticity of the open key and continue the connection. The public key fingerprint will be saved on the device where the Integration Server is installed. If you do not consider this open key to be authentic, click the Cancel connection button in the Verify public key fingerprint window to terminate the connection.

    If a connection to a virtual infrastructure object could not be established, information about connection errors is displayed in the list of infrastructures in the Status column.

Using the buttons above the table, you can:

  • refresh the list of virtual infrastructures
  • sort and search the list
  • edit the settings for connecting the Integration Server to virtual infrastructures
  • delete settings for connecting to virtual infrastructures
  • export the list in CSV format

Selecting infrastructure for SVM deployment

At this step, the table displays information about the virtual infrastructures to which connections are configured for the Integration Server. If SVMs are already deployed in the virtual infrastructure, the table also contains information about them. Each row of the table displays the following information about the virtual infrastructure:

  • 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.

  • Infrastructure object type

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

  • SVM version

    This column contains the SVM version number.

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.

To select infrastructure for SVM deployment:

  1. Depending on the type of the virtual infrastructure, select checkboxes in the table to the left of the names of the hypervisors on which you want to deploy an SVM, or the OpenStack projects in which you want to deploy an SVM. You can select hypervisors or OpenStack projects to which the Integration Server has successfully connected.

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

    The simultaneous deployment of SVMs within OpenStack projects, which are running on different Keystone microservices, is not supported. You can simultaneously deploy SVMs only in OpenStack projects that are running on the same Keystone microservice.

    Simultaneous deployment of SVMs to hypervisors of different types (for example, to a VMware ESXi hypervisor and a KVM hypervisor) is not supported.

  2. If you want to allow parallel deployment of multiple SVMs, select the Allow parallel deployment of N SVMs check box and specify the number of SVMs that should be deployed in parallel.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.

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.

    In the window that opens, a list of tasks for the Integration Server is displayed as a table. The list contains the Integration Server tasks that you created and ran using the wizard (SVM deployment, reconfiguration, and removal tasks), as well as SVM image verification tasks that are created automatically when you run an SVM image file integrity check while creating SVM deployment tasks. The task is placed in the list immediately after its creation and is automatically deleted from the list some time after the task has been completed (successfully or with an error) or canceled. By default, completed or canceled tasks are listed for 60 minutes.

    If necessary, you can cancel tasks that have not yet been completed. To do this, select the task in the list and click the Cancel button located above the table.

    For tasks that are running, their progress is displayed. If a task completes with an error, an error message is displayed.

  3. To view detailed information about a task, click on the task name.

    The window that opens displays the following information about the selected task:

    • Task name
    • Task type
    • Time when the task was created
    • Time when the task transitioned from the current status
    • Current task status and an error message if the task was completed with an error
    • List of all SVMs on which the task is running, and the progress of the task on each SVM Each row in the list contains the following information:
      • SVM name
      • IP address of the SVM in IPv4 format
      • Task status on the SVM, and an error message if the task was completed with an error
      • Location of the SVM in the virtual infrastructure (address and type of hypervisor or the OpenStack project name, address and type of infrastructure)
  4. For Deployment or Reconfiguration tasks, you can view information about the execution of stages of a task on the selected SVM. To open the list of stages, click on the SVM name in the list.

    In the window that opens, information about the execution of each stage of the task on an individual SVM is displayed in the form of a table:

    • Stage name
    • Stage start time
    • Stage execution status and error message if an error occurred at this stage
    • Stage end time
