  Hi all.

  I just wondered if any of you deployed SQL 2008 SP2 on database clusters. We have about 50 clusters with 75 instances and manual patching have started to become quite a hassle. Any links would be appreciated.

  our data centre uses shavlik, http://www.shavlik.com/products.aspx

  but I think they may apply sql patches manually as they do alternate nodes on alternate days.

  ok - but the SP install is a bit different as it patches the passive node first and then the active node (for 2-way clusters). I guess I need to have a look at installing from cmd-line.

  Thanks
