4 Browse to select the .vmoconfig file you exported from your previous installation.
5 Select whether to override the Orchestrator internal certificate and network settings.
Select the check box only if you want to restore your Orchestrator configuration and the .vmoconfig file
is the backup file of the same Orchestrator configuration.
If you import the configuration to duplicate the Orchestrator environment, for example for scaling
purposes, leave the check box unselected. Otherwise you might have problems with the certificates when
Orchestrator tries to identify against vCenter Server, vCenter Single Sign On or the vSphere Web Client.
6 Click Import.
A message states that the configuration is successfully imported. The new system replicates the old
configuration completely.
Upgrading Orchestrator 4.0.x and Migrating the Configuration Data
Instead of performing an in-place upgrade of Orchestrator, you might want to use a different machine for your
upgrade.
The vCenter Server 5.0 installation media includes a data migration tool that you can use to migrate
Orchestrator and vCenter Server configuration data from your existing installation on a 32-bit
vCenter Server machine to a new installation on the 64-bit machine. This data migration tool is not supported
for vCenter Server 5.1 and Orchestrator 5.1. You cannot directly migrate an existing Orchestrator installation
to a different machine during an upgrade to version 5.1. You can migrate an existing Orchestrator installation
to a different machine during the upgrade to version 4.2, and then perform an in-place upgrade from version
4.2 to version 5.1. See the version 4.2 of Installing and Configuring VMware vCenter Orchestrator documentation.
