Brajesh,

 

   Outside of your question, Active/Active clusters are not recommended
for Exchange...  Just throwing that out there for you to research.

 

   As far as SP2 install, it was fairly simple:

 

**** READ THE SP2 RELEASE NOTES FIRST!

 

1.      Pause one of the nodes (in Cluster Administrator)

        a.      Install Exchange SP2 on the paused Node
        b.      In Cluster Administrator, right click and select
"Upgrade Exchange Virtual Server". (This simply updates the Cluster
Group after the SP install)

2.      Fail services over to the upgraded Node in the cluster, then
apply SP2 to the other Exchange server.

        a.      Install any Post SP2 patches as specified in the Release
Notes

3.      Test failing over to each node after SP2 has been successfully
applied (this is for Active/Passive config.)

        Hello all,

         

           I have thoroughly researched SP2 rollout and have tested
deployment...

           The only aspect I have not tested is applying SP2 to my
clusters (lack of hardware to emulate in a test environment).  Any
'gotchas' to look out for with Active/Passive clusters?  I haven't
really seen anything to worry about regarding clusters while
researching.

           I appreciate your feedback.

         

        Thanks,
