    actually, the 2000 servers are not clustered.But now we are going for cluster environment for sql server 2005. So we need to use side-by-side only. Is there any document for upgrade from 2000 2005 cluster environment

    Ok you are doing Migration. It will be just like a normal migration but you will be having additional tasks like setting up MSDTC service.....Just go through the articles on Upgrade...you can find many in Microsoft website...Like this one..http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=66D3E6F5-6902-4FDD-AF75-9975AEA5BEA7&displaylang=en

    Actually this is for 2008...but you can find for 2005 also...
