SQL 2000 to 2005 upgrade while on Virtual Center 2.5

[pperalta]

Hi Everybody,

I just performed a VC upgrade from 2.0 to 2.5 while on SQL 2000. Our DBA's now want to updrade SQL to 2005. I'm reaching out to my fellow VM users to find out if you have done this before and if so, what steps you took? Did you need to reinstall VC? Is a new DB instance required? Or is this upgrade independent of the VC upgrade I just performed?

Thanks in advanced everybody,

Phil
