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 tasks, or upgrading the system.

For a list of exported configuration settings, see Orchestrator Configuration Files.

Important

Keep the file with the exported configuration safe and secure, because it contains sensitive administrative information.

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.

Orchestrator creates a vmo_config_dateReference.vmoconfig file on the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed. You can use this file to clone or to restore the system.
