Upgraded Clustered (MSCS) Virtual Center server to vSphere4

I currently have Virtual Center 2.5 clustered across 2 physical machines using MSCS. SQL 2005 is also installed on this cluster and hosts the VC databases. I need to upgrade to vSphere 4. Has anyone gone through this? Per VMWare support there is no documentation for upgrading a VC cluster.

My thought was to run the vSphere4 upgrade on the active node, which would then upgrade the database. Then either fail the cluster over to the passive and re-run the install, OR run the install on the passive without failing the services over to it.

If I understand things correctly, the DB will get upgraded with the upgrade of the active node. Just not sure how to get the passive node upgraded.
