Converting policies and tasks

After upgrading the application, you can use the configured policies and tasks of the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

If you upgraded Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.0 Agentless, policies and tasks are automatically converted to policies and tasks of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.0 Agentless after policy protection settings and task scan settings are edited and saved for the first time.

If you upgraded Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless or older, you need to do the following:

  1. Convert policies and tasks using the Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard of Kaspersky Security Center.

    You can convert policies and tasks that were configured in one of the following versions of the application:

    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless
    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Agentless
    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Agentless

    Converted policies and tasks are named as follows: "<name of original policy or task> (converted)".

  2. Copy all converted policies and tasks from the administration group containing the KSC cluster for SVMs of the previous version of the application into the administration group containing the new cluster "VMware vCenter Agentless".

    The administration group containing the KSC cluster for SVMs of the previous version of the application is named as follows: VMware vCenter "<name of the VMware vCenter Server, if it is defined>" (<IP address of the VMware vCenter Server>).

    The administration group containing the new "VMware vCenter Agentless" cluster is named as follows: VMware vCenter Server '<name of the VMware vCenter Server, if one is defined>' (<IP address or domain name of the VMware vCenter Server>) Agentless.

    For more detailed information about copying policies and tasks, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

    After completing an application upgrade, you can delete policies and tasks that were created for the previous version of the application, and delete the administration group containing the KSC cluster for the previous version of the application.

If you upgraded Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless or older, you can also use the New Policy Wizard to create new policies based on the existing policies. To do so, at the Entering the group policy name step, you must select the Use settings from policy for previous application version check box (for more details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation).
