Rename SQL Server virtual name (and impact on VCO)?

i posted in sql server ha group, haven't had luck getting responses there.  i'm thinking list might more appropriate....

need come way rename 1 of our sql server 2008 virtual names.  sql server instance part of 2 node windows server 2008 r2 failover cluster.  according microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178083.aspx), steps required rename sql server network name , take resource offline , bring online.  guess i'm little confused @ how vco comes play here.  aforementioned article makes no mention of that.  i'm assuming 1 needs create new vco computer account , grant cno account full control.  should done prior renaming network name?  has attempted before?


thanks

i tried on test cluster.  in services , application, select application sql server.  in summary window, right click on resource under "server name" listed current name.  right click , select properties.  change entry "dns name" name want.  click apply.  resource taken offline change - after warning dialog. 

i'll have wait , see if propagates.  i'm able connect both names on node.  old name still works on client.  seems changing cname me.
