Please let me know if the root permissions will be dropped as well and we have to redefine. or Atleast the root permissions will be there and we could use its existing password.
When you re-install VC you'll have to add all the hosts back in. Since access to VC is based per local adminstrators by default then you should have access to VC once you re-install as long as you have local admin access on the machine itself.
The only workaround not to lose the information is to use the same database, since it keeps all the settings at least from my experience.

Version for ESX 3.0.2, 52542
Version for Virtual centre server 2.0.2
No backup for the database
If we reinstall the Virtual centre server and create a new database, would it have any issues for the running production VM's. I know we will have to redefine the roles / permissions, resourece pools, etc. If someone has done this before would know exact steps taken. Paulsolov mentioned that he done the same thing.
