  Hi guys, I have the following task at hand.

  I have a 2 node Win2003/SQL2000 active/passive cluster, using HP ProLiant DL 380 G4's. I need to upgrade the servers to DL 380 G5's, and I need to do this without losing the cluster. Has anyone done this kind of thing before, and/or can someone point me in the right direction if such a documentation exists?

  Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
