Hi,
We are performing the In-Place upgrade of SQL Server 2000(enterprise) to 2005(enterprise) in a clustered environment.
The issue is that the upgrade does not proceed in case both the machines in the cluster are running.
The error shown is
Product Name : Microsoft SQL Server
Product Version : 9.00.1399.06
Message Source : setup.rll
Message ID : 50000
EvtType : datastore\clustergroupsproperties.cpp@.InvokeSqlSetupDllAction@.ClusterGroupScope.SharedDisks@.0x2
It proceeds (with some errors) only if i stop the cluster service on the other machine. It is an expected behavior?
Does anyone have the documentation for this type of upgrade? Or just the basic steps to be followed.

In virtually every case of a cluster upgrade, I always tell my clients to perform a new install and not perform an in-place upgrade. If you have this option, take it. Upgrading in place is possible, but fraught with difficulties.
|||I would need more information on your configuration and the exact steps you are going through. I wrote the section in the upgrade documentation for upgrading a cluster. I've upgraded both single instance and multi-instance clusters, in place, without any of the issues you are mentioning.
