Hardware requirements
To run Kaspersky Security for Virtualization on an SVM, the following minimum system resources are required:
- virtualized processor with clock speed of 2 GHz;
- 512 MB of allocated RAM;
- 30 GB of allocated free disk space;
- virtualized network interface with a bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s.
Software requirements
To run the application in the virtual infrastructure, one of the following hypervisors must be installed:
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Hyper-V role
- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with the Hyper-V role
- Windows Server 2012 with the Hyper-V role
- Citrix XenServer 6.0.2
- Citrix XenServer 6.1.0
- VMware ESXi 5.1u2
- VMware ESXi 5.5
If the SVM search function is disabled, it is only possible to connect Light Agent to an SVM and ensure the correct functioning of the application if you have deployed Light Agent and the SVM on the platforms for which they are intended. That is, connecting Light Agent deployed on Hyper-V or Citrix platforms to SVMs installed on VMware hypervisors is not supported. Conversely, connecting Light Agent deployed on a VMware platform, to SVMs installed on Hyper-V or Citrix hypervisors is not supported.
Installing an SVM on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V hypervisor that is not a part of an Active Directory domain requires that Windows Remote Management (WinRM) version 3.0 be installed on the hypervisor. WinRM 3.0 is a part of the Windows Management Framework 3.0 distribution that is available for download on Microsoft official website.
Protected virtual machines with Light Agent installed must meet the following requirements:
- Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit)
- Windows 7 Professional / Enterprise / Ultimate SP1 (32 / 64-bit)
- Windows XP Professional SP2 (64-bit, only with the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisors)
- Windows 8 Pro / Enterprise (32 / 64-bit)
- Windows Vista Business / Enterprise / Ultimate SP2 (32-bit, only with the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisors)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard / Enterprise SP1 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 Standard / Enterprise SP2 (32 / 64-bit)
- Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard / Enterprise SP2 (32 / 64-bit, only with the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisors)
- Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2 (32 / 64-bit)
- Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
- Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard (64-bit, only with the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisors)
- Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials / Standard (64-bit, only with the Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V hypervisors)
