    Did you even try? A simple search on your favorite search engine will provide links to articles that explain how to do this in great detail. Far better than you will get from a forum post.

    Are the mirrored instances in 2 separate clusters?

  • mirror servers : principal one cluster and mirror on another cluster . each cluster having 2 nodes .

    after installation i got the below error

    Final result: The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files.

    Exit code (Decimal): -2068578304

    Exit facility code: 1204

    The SQL Server failover cluster instance was not correctly detected. The instance was discovered on the local node but it was not found to be active. To continue, confirm the state of the instance installed on all applicable nodes of the cluster and the state of the failover cluster resources.

  • you should be patching the mirror instance first, then failover to the mirror which now becomes principal.

    Patch the instance that is now the mirror and then failback if desired

  • in cluster environment is it mandatory to failover the mirror .??

  • the clusters have no bearing here, they're merely providing resilience for each of the mirror instances at the instance level. Treat the 2 instances as exactly that, 2 sql server instances, just so happens they're clustered
