Prior to installing the application in a VMware infrastructure, you must perform the following actions:
Combine VMware ESXi hypervisors into one or several VMware clusters.
Configure the Agent VM Settings in the properties of each hypervisor: select a network and storage for service virtual machines and SVMs. For details on configuring Agent VM Settings, please refer to the VMware product documentation.
On each VMware cluster on which SVMs with the Network Threat Protection component will be deployed, prepare hypervisors for network protection deployment. To do so, you must install VMware NSX components on hypervisors. Installation is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console in the Networking & Security →Installation and Upgrade section on the Host Preparation tab. To install VMware NSX components to hypervisors, you must select Actions →Install for the VMware cluster. Refer to the Knowledge Base for more details.
Install the Guest Introspection driver (NSX File Introspection Driver) on each virtual machine that you want to protect using Kaspersky Security.
To do so, you must install VMware Tools kit version 11.0.1. on virtual machines running a Windows operating system. When installing the VMware Tools package, you need to install the NSX File Introspection Driver component that is included in the package. The NSX File Introspection Driver component is not installed by default.
Special packages are provided for installation of the NSX File Introspection Driver component on virtual machines running a Linux operating system. For more details please refer to documentation attached to VMware products.
