I have a production failover cluster running SQL Server 2000 at SP3
that I want to upgrade to SP4. I do not have a test failover cluster
to test with so I need the install on the primary server to work the
first time. Per the information I have I just install the patch on the
primary server and it will install both on the primary and on the
secondary.
However, I remember when I did the initial install and it failed. The
first problem traced to the fact that the install uses temporary files
under the profile of the installing administrator and the id had never
logged into the second server so the install failed on creating the
temporary file. The was a second problem that related to an OS feature
that had to be off for the install to work.
If anyone out there has done this upgrade and remembers encountering a
problem and its fix/workaround I would appreciate a head up warning.
Thank you
