We have Virtual Center 2.5 using a SQL Express 2005 database installed on the same machine. I now have a separate SQL 2005 server so I would like to move the Virtual Center database to it. Are these the basic steps:
1. Stop Virtual Center service.
2. Backup current SQL Express 2005 database. This can be done using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express which I have installed on the Virtual Center server
3. Restore the database on my SQL 2005 server using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
4. Update ODBC connection on VC server with new SQL server name
5. Start Virtual Center service
Am I missing anythng? How is the authentication handled between the Virtual Center server and SQL? Do I need the SQL Native Client installed on the Virtual Center server?
When I look at the databases being stored in SQL Server Express 2005 I see two, VIM_UMDB and VIM_VCDB, do I move them both? This same server is also our license server
