Specifying SVM settings

At this step, the Hypervisor column shows the IP address in IPv4 format or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the hypervisor on which the SVM will be deployed.

In the SVM Name field, specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SVM, which will be deployed on the hypervisor.

Specify the following SVM settings depending on the hypervisor type, on which the SVM will be deployed:

• Storage
  

  Hypervisor data storage for SVM image.

  The drop-down list displays the storage repositories available for SVM deployment.

  If you are deploying SVMs on a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor that is part of a cluster, only shared repositories can be selected in the list.

  If you are deploying SVMs on a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor that is not part of a cluster, you can manually enter the path to the repository.

  If you are deploying SVMs on a Nutanix AHV hypervisor, the default hypervisor storage is used for SVMs. The field displays Default storage, storage selection is unavailable.

• Network name
  

  The name of the virtual network that the SVM must use to connect to other virtual machines and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

  You can specify one or more virtual networks available on the hypervisor. To add or remove a field for selecting virtual networks, use the buttons next to the network selection field.

  If the virtual infrastructure uses the VMware Distributed Virtual Switch component, you can specify a Distributed Virtual Port Group to which the SVM will be connected.

  If you intend to use dynamic IP addressing (DHCP) for all SVMs, the network settings will be received from the DHCP server via the first virtual network in the list of networks specified for each SVM. Make sure that the Wizard can connect to the SVM with the network settings of the first virtual network received from the DHCP server.

  The Network name column is displayed if the SVMs were deployed on a VMware ESXi, Citrix Hypervisor (Citrix XenServer), Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V), KVM, Proxmox VE, R-Virtualization, or HUAWEI FusionCompute CNA hypervisor.

• Network name and type
  

  The name and type of the virtual network that the SVM must use to connect to other virtual machines and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

  The type of network is designated as follows:

  • (unmanaged) – an unmanaged virtual network (network settings cannot be configured using hypervisor tools). In this network, an external DHCP server assigns IP addresses to virtual machines.
  • (dynamic IP addressing) – a managed virtual network with dynamic IP addressing. In this network, a DHCP server configured on the hypervisor assigns IP addresses to virtual machines. IP addresses are assigned within the specified pool of IP addresses.
  • (static IP addressing) – a managed virtual network with static IP addressing. In this network, IP addresses are assigned to virtual machines manually within the limits of the subnet specified in the hypervisor settings.

  You can specify one or more virtual networks available on the hypervisor. To add or remove a field for selecting virtual networks, use the buttons next to the network selection field.

  The Network name and type column is displayed if the SVM is deployed on a Nutanix AHV hypervisor.

  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.

• VLAN ID
  

  The ID of a virtual local area network (VLAN) used by the SVM to connect to virtual machines and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

  If a virtual local area network is not used, the column shows No.

  The VLAN ID column is displayed only if the SVM is deployed on a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
