I see in the notes "What's new" for vCenter 5.1 Update 1, that Microsoft SQL 2012 is now supported. Has anyone tried this yet?
vCenter Server 5.1 Update 1 Release Notes
We are currently in the proccess of upgrading our SQL farm from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 and would dearly love to move the DB's but I'm not seeing or finding any documentation on that. We tried just moving the databases and changing DNS entries to point to the new location of the DB's but the vCenter service wouldn't start.
I also opened a ticket with VMWare but they were unable to help. I was told no documentation exists yet for support on 2012 and indeed, if you look at the Install/upgrade instructions for vCenter 5.1U1 they still only list 2008 as the latest version of SQL supported.
Anyone have any advice?
