Installing Orchestrator 4
Orchestrator consists of a server component and a client component. You can install the Orchestrator
components on the machine where vCenter Server is installed or on a separate machine. To improve
performance, install the Orchestrator server component on a separate machine.
To install Orchestrator, you must be either a local Administrator or a domain user that is a member of the
Administrators group. To run and use Orchestrator, you must use a local system account for the machine on
which Orchestrator is installed.

Install vCenter Server and Orchestrator
When you install VMware vCenter Server, Orchestrator is silently installed on your system as an additional
component.
NOTE To install the vCenter Server on a drive other than C:, verify that the C:\WINDOWS\Installer folder is
large enough to install the Microsoft Windows Installer .msi file. If the folder is not large enough, your
vCenter Server installation might fail.
For a list of required ports, see the ESX and vCenter Server Installation Guide.
