This will not break log shipping, because SQL Server 2005 transaction logs can be applied to SQL Server 2008. Afterward, a planned failover takes place whereby the role-switch procedures are followed and users are redirected to the secondary server, which has been promoted. After the role switch and after users are redirected, stop and disable the log shipping jobs. The newly upgraded SQL Server 2008 primary server cannot log-ship to the old primary server running SQL Server 2005.
Complete an in-place upgrade on the old primary server using the SQL Server 2008 setup program and leave it as the secondary server. Configure SQL Server 2008 log shipping from the new primary server to the secondary server using the same log-shipping shared folders used by SQL Server 2005. Additionally, in the Secondary Database Settings, on the Initialize Secondary Database page, choose "No, the Secondary database is initialized."
