For Kaspersky Security to run in the virtual infrastructure, one of the following hypervisors must be installed (depending on the virtualization platform):
The application can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisors that are part of a hypervisor cluster managed by the Windows Failover Clustering service. Cluster Shared Volumes technology must be enabled on cluster nodes.
VMware vCenter Server® 7.0, VMware vCenter Server 6.7 or VMware vCenter Server 6.5 virtual infrastructure administration server with all available updates must be installed in the virtual infrastructure to support deployment and operation of an SVM (secure virtual machine) on VMware ESXi hypervisors. There is support for the installation and operation of the application in an infrastructure managed by standalone VMware vCenter servers and by a group of VMware vCenter servers running in Linked mode.
When protecting virtual machines in VMware infrastructure, Kaspersky Security can use one of the following types of VMware NSX Manager™:
If VMware NSX Manager is used, Kaspersky Security can assign security tags to the protected virtual machines.
Simultaneous use of VMware NSX-V Manager and VMware NSX-T Manager for the same VMware vCenter Server is not supported.
To deploy an SVM on KVM hypervisors running the CentOS operating system, you must delete or comment out the “Defaults requiretty” line in the /etc/sudoers configuration file of the hypervisor's operating system.
Only KVM-based Proxmox VE is supported. Operation of the application on a Proxmox VE hypervisor using LXC (Linux Containers) is not supported.
A Skala-R Management 1.50 virtual infrastructure administration server must be installed in the virtual infrastructure to support deployment and operation of an SVM (secure virtual machine) on R-Virtualization hypervisors.
A HUAWEI FusionCompute VRM 6.5.1 virtual infrastructure administration server must be installed in the virtual infrastructure to support deployment and operation of an SVM (secure virtual machine) on HUAWEI FusionCompute CNA hypervisors.
A Nutanix Prism version 5.10 (or later) virtual infrastructure administration server must be installed in the virtual infrastructure to support deployment and operation of an SVM (secure virtual machine) on Nutanix AHV hypervisors.
Protection of the virtual infrastructure on the Nutanix Acropolis platform is supported only in the following Kaspersky Security updates: 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3.
There are some limitations on the installation and operation of the application in the virtual infrastructure of Enterprise Cloud Platform VeiL. Please refer to the Knowledge Base for details.
There are some limitations on the installation and operation of the application in the SharxBase virtual infrastructure. Please refer to the Knowledge Base for details.
To deploy SVMs on Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) and VMware ESXi hypervisors, you can use a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (referred to as Microsoft SCVMM) of one of the following versions:
