.vmoconfig file which you can use to clone or to restore the
system.
Uninstall Orchestrator
You can remove the Orchestrator client and server components from your system by using Add or Remove

Install Orchestrator Standalone
For production environments and to enhance the scalability of your Orchestrator setup, install Orchestrator
on a dedicated Windows machine.
You can install the Orchestrator server only on a 64-bit operating system platform.
The Orchestrator client can run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows machines.
You can install the Orchestrator client on a 32-bit machine. For more information, see “Install the Orchestrator
Client on a 32-Bit Machine,” on page 25.
NOTE If you try to install Orchestrator 4.2.1 on a 64-bit machine on which an instance of Orchestrator 4.0.x is
running, the 64-bit installer does not detect the earlier version of Orchestrator. As a result, two versions of
Orchestrator are installed and coexist.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that your hardware meets the Orchestrator system requirements. See “Hardware Requirements for
Orchestrator,” on page 15.
n
Download the vCenter Server 5.0.1 installer from the VMware Web site.
Procedure
1 Start the Orchestrator installer.
In the software installer directory, browse to the C:\
install_directory
\vCenter-Server\vCO\ folder and
double-click vCenterOrchestrator.exe.
The file contains installers for the client and the server components.
2 Click Next.
