Hotfix install on Active/Active? (kb 937343)

#1

Howdy, all. I'm trying to install a hotfix to an active/active
cluster. There's nothing in the docs about it, and while I know
there's an article on doing so for 7.0/2000, nothing about 2005.
Anybody know what the recommended procedure is?

Thanks.

#2

The Readme.txt file should have some cluster install notes.

As with any SP or hotfix, begin from the node hosting the instance you wish
to target. You may need to run the hotfix more than once if the instances
are hosted on different nodes.
