Hello and welcome to the communities.

You don't have to, but SP4 on SQL 2005 is what is supported for use with vCenter Server 5.1. Its a question of whether or not you wanted a supported configuration. With that being said, I personally prefer supported configs.

Good Luck!

My understanding of "supported configuration" means one that VMware has tested and confirms to work as expected. If you call in for support with a fully supported configuration, you should expect no issues receving help.
