Upgrading Orchestrator 4.0.x Running on a 64-Bit Machine
If vCenter Orchestrator 4.0.x is installed on the same 64-bit machine as vCenter Server 4.0 and the later update
releases, you cannot upgrade Orchestrator by upgrading to vCenter Server 5.0.1. VMware does not support
the in-place upgrade of a standalone Orchestrator instance running on a 64-bit machine.
To upgrade to Orchestrator 4.2.1, you must export the Orchestrator configuration settings, uninstall the existing
Orchestrator instance, run the Orchestrator installer, and import the configuration settings.
1 Export the Orchestrator Configuration on page 29
The Orchestrator configuration interface provides a mechanism to export the Orchestrator configuration
settings to a local file. This mechanism allows you to take a snapshot of your system configuration at any
moment and import this configuration into a new Orchestrator instance.
2 Uninstall Orchestrator on page 30
You can remove the Orchestrator client and server components from your system by using Add or
Remove Programs.
3 Install Orchestrator Standalone on page 30
For production environments and to enhance the scalability of your Orchestrator setup, install
Orchestrator on a dedicated Windows machine.
4 Import the Orchestrator Configuration on page 31
You can restore the previously exported system configuration if a system failure occurs or when you
reinstall Orchestrator.
Export the Orchestrator Configuration
The Orchestrator configuration interface provides a mechanism to export the Orchestrator configuration
settings to a local file. This mechanism allows you to take a snapshot of your system configuration at any
moment and import this configuration into a new Orchestrator instance.
You should export and save your configuration settings on a regular basis, especially when making
modifications, performing maintenance, or upgrading the system.
For a list of exported configuration settings, see “Orchestrator Configuration Files,” on page 65.
