Cumulative UPdate on SQL 2005 cluster

  • I just installed CU11 last night on a SQL Cluster. It reported success for all components. I took the Cluster offline before applying the CU and stopped other services that the CU update reported as being locked(requiring reboot). After all services were stopped, I applied the patch.

    Part of the install said the DTC was stopped, so I started DTC and patched the rest of the compoents.

    CUs are cluster aware, so running them should patch both SQL installs.

    To be safe, after bringing all services back online, I failedover to the standby, repeated the first paragraph(above) and there were two components on the standby server that said needed patched, minor, but it was successful as well.

    I looked at the @@Version and the version of the DLLs this morning and they all report as SP2?

    Why did CU11 report success and yet not update anything on a cluster?

    UPDATE:

    The CU update summary logs all report success with each component

  • Did you reboot the all the nodes after installing CU11?

    and do not stop any services before applying the CU11. It will detect the services and automatically stops them.
