SQL server 2005 SP3 install on cluster

  • I have installed SQL server 2005 SP3 on test clustered system. The installation went fine without any problems. Log shows that SP3 installed successfully. Also when I see in Add remove programs it shows SP3 installed. But when I checked the version in SQL it still shows SP2 build 3315 which is cu 12 I beleive. also wanted to know if there is command line arguments I can to install SP3 through command line.

    thanks

  • Have you installed SP3 on both the nodes?

  • Just on one node for the time being. I hadn't rebooted it. So it got fixed after I rebooted it. Thanks for prompt response Ravi.

  • How are you verifying that the instance you are connected to was in fact upgraded to SP3? Do you have multiple instances on that cluster?

  • I just have one instance and I did verify the version and build on that instance.

  • I ran following on that instance

    select serverproperty('productversion'), serverproperty ('productlevel'), serverproperty ('edition')

    and executed the query.

  • When you ran the service pack - it should have listed everything that it was going to upgrade. Rerun the service pack upgrade and verify that all items in that list have been upgraded. When you select the item, it should tell you whether or not it can be upgraded.

  • Is this 64 bit or 32 bit SQL instance, I know we patched a 64 bit instance by mistake with 32 bit SP3 and it installed fine and all the logs stated so, but SQL was reporting SP2 still, did some head scratching and figured it out, worth a look?
