    Hi,

    Since I don't have a testing environment, I am seeking help on this.

    In a 2-node SQL Cluster, if Node-1 is on SQL 2008 SP3 and Node-2 is running on SP1 will instance gets failover irrepective of service pack level?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it will also perform a downgrade of the SQL server instance. For this reason follow the MS patch guide here
