  • Have you ever carried out an upgrade of this type before?

    Do you plan to use a side by side upgrade or upgrade the existing system?

    What SQL Server service pack level is the SQL Server 2005 cluster at?

  • thanks for quick reply. Answers to your questions are:

    I never done this before.

    It will be in-place (upgrade existing system)

    its is SP4

  • With that level of knowledge you're not leaving yourself much margin for error!

    The first thing you will want to do is to check the current hardware against the Windows Server 2008 R2 HCL
