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.

To run Kaspersky Security on an SVM, the following minimum system resources are required:

• Dual-core virtual processor
• 30 GB of available disk space

Before installing the Light Agent for Windows component on a virtual machine powered by a Citrix XenServer hypervisor, the application XenTools must first be installed.

The VMware Tools kit must be installed before installing the Light Agent for Windows component on a virtual machine powered by a VMware ESXi hypervisor.

An Integration Services package must be installed on a virtual machine powered by a Microsoft Windows Server (Hyper-V) hypervisor.

Supported guest operating systems:

• Windows Server 2016, all revisions (in full mode) (64-bit)
• Windows Server 2019, all revisions (in full mode) (64-bit)

To avoid delays in installing the application under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, make sure that the Windows operating system automatically updates lists of trusted and untrusted (revoked) software vendor certificates online via Windows Update. For systems without access to Windows Update or systems on which automatic updating of lists of trusted and untrusted certificates is disabled, these lists must be kept up to date manually in accordance with the Microsoft recommendations at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2677070 and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2813430.

Light Agent for Windows component can protect virtual machines that are part of an infrastructure employing the following virtualization solutions:

• Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.15
• Citrix Provisioning Services 7.15
• VMware Horizon View 7.4

If you are using the Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop 7.14, Citrix Provisioning Services 7.14, or VMware Horizon View 7.3, for the golden image you must configure the recommended exclusions.

To ensure proper installation and operation of the Light Agent for Linux component, the virtual machine must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

• 1.5 GHz virtual processor
• 2 GB of available disk space
• 2 GB of RAM
• Virtualized network interface with bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s

Software requirements for installation and operation of the Light Agent for Linux component:

• Perl interpreter: version 5.0 or later
• The which utility
• Installed dmidecode package
• Installed psmisc package
• Support for Fanotify API technology in the operating system (optional). If Fanotify API technology is not supported by the operating system, the virtual machine must have application compilation packages installed (gcc, binutils, glibc, glibc-devel, make, ld), and source code of the operating system kernel for compilation of application modules

To install Light Agent for Linux and ensure proper functioning of the Light Agent for Linux component on a virtual machine, the following packages must be installed:
