Windows is stand alone, so you'll need to do the SP on both.

with SQL, because the DB Engine is shared between the nodes, when you
install the SQL SP it dumps the updated files on all of your nodes.
But because there are parts that are not part of the cluster (such as
ssis, client tools etc) you need to run the SP on all nodes to update
those none clustered parts...

if all you have is the DB Engine then you only need to run the SP on the
active node.

Thanks for the reply. Just to understand better, I just need to run the
SQL 2005 SP2 on current host node
and after update, I run it again on the 2nd node, right? Also can I do
the same thing with Windows 2003 SP2?

Thanks

You will need to install SP2 starting from the current host node to
update the engine and agent. You will need to run SP2 from each node in
order to update SSIS and the client tools, just like you had to run the
installer on each node to install SSIS and client tools.

I've got a 2-node SQL Server 2005 running. There is no sql service
packs installed and Windows 2003 service packs. the sql-cluster was
built
while back. Is there a special way to install SQL SP2? Do I just
install the SP2 on each node?

Thanks in advance
