Orchestrator Configuration Files
When you export the system configuration, a vmo_config_ dateReference .vmoconfig file is created locally. It
contains all the Orchestrator configuration files.
NOTE Some of the configuration files that are created during the export are empty. For example, the server
file is empty because the startup options for the Orchestrator server are individual for each machine where the
Orchestrator server is installed. These empty files must be reconfigured, even when a working configuration
was previously imported.
