You completed the installation of vCenter Server. The Orchestrator client and server components are installed
on your system.
What to do next
Start the VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration service and log in to the Orchestrator configuration
interface. Configure Orchestrator using an IPv4 operating system. Orchestrator does not support IPv6
operating systems.
For the detailed procedures, see

Install Orchestrator Standalone
If you install VMware vCenter Server, Orchestrator is already installed on your system. To make Orchestrator
available to use, you must only configure it or import a backed up configuration. For production environments
and to enhance the scalability of your Orchestrator setup, install Orchestrator on a dedicated Microsoft
Windows server.
Prerequisites
Verify that your hardware meets the Orchestrator system requirements. See “Hardware Requirements for
Orchestrator,” on page 13.
