I am attempting to upgrade my vCenter from 5.0 to 5.1. We currently run the embedded SQL Express database but because we anticipate going well beyond 60 VMs on our 4 hosts, I installed SQL 2008 Standard to use. However, before I continue with the upgrade to 5.1, I would like to know what issues I will run into by using a different database from my current configuration. We have some VMs we're using on the 5.0 system that I would not want to lose. I just don't know what consequences there are with changing databases during the upgrade.
Thanks,
Dave
