Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 On the General tab, click Export Configuration.
3 (Optional) Type a password to protect the configuration file.
Use the same password when you import the configuration.
4 Click Export.
5 Click Save when prompted.
Orchestrator creates a vmo_config_ dateReference .vmoconfig file which you can use to clone or to restore the
system.
Orchestrator Configuration Files
When you export the system configuration, a vmo_config_ dateReference .vmoconfig file is created locally. It
contains all the Orchestrator configuration data.
NOTE Some of the configuration files that are created during the export are empty. For example, the server
configuration data is not exported 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.
Table 6-2. Settings Not Saved During Configuration Export
Setting Description
Certificate Certificates are not exported. Most certificates are stored in
the Orchestrator database. However, the vCenter Server

Licenses Manually imported licenses are not exported. They are
stored in the Orchestrator database.
Server The server configuration is reset to Unknown. You must
install the Orchestrator server as a Windows service again.
