SVM Update

If you want to use the application in multitenancy mode, it is recommended to configure the settings for connecting the Integration Server to the VMware vCloud Director Server before updating SVMs. If you connect the Integration Server to VMware vCloud Director after updating SVMs, to ensure correct operation of the application you need to perform the additional steps described in the Knowledge Base.

To update SVMs with Kaspersky Security components in the virtual infrastructure:

  1. Perform the change settings of Kaspersky Security procedure for each VMware vCenter Server that manages the operation of SVMs with the previous version of the application. During the procedure, specify the addresses of SVM images with the new version of Kaspersky Security components.

    After the Reconfiguration Wizard completes, the Integration Server re-registers the Kaspersky Security services with the new settings.

  2. In the VMware vSphere Web Client console, perform one of the following actions:
    • If the VMware cluster included VMware ESXi 5.5 hypervisors and you removed deployed Kaspersky Security services prior to starting the update of the application, deploy Kaspersky Security services on the cluster.
    • If the VMware cluster did not include VMware ESXi 5.5 hypervisors, update the Kaspersky Security services deployed on the cluster (Networking & Security → Installation and Upgrade section, Service Deployments tab, Upgrade action).

If you upgrade Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Agentless, new SVMs are put in the same "VMware vCenter Agentless" clusters that contained SVMs with the previous version of the application.

If you upgrade Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless, Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Agentless, or Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Agentless, Kaspersky Security Center creates new "VMware vCenter Agentless" clusters for new SVMs. The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console also displays the administration groups that were created for KSC clusters of the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

The KSC cluster for the SVM of the previous version of the application and the administration group created for it are named VMware vCenter "<name>" (<IP address>), where:
