Hello,
Refer to the following articles in SQL Server 2000 Books Online. The latest
version of SQL Server 2000 Books Online can be downloaded from the
following link
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinf...2000/books.asp
How to upgrade from a SQL Server 7.0 active/passive failover cluster (Setup)
How to upgrade from a SQL Server 7.0 active/active failover cluster (Setup)
How to upgrade from a default instance to a default clustered instance of
SQL Server 2000 (SQL Server Setup).
To upgrade from a SQL Server 7.0 active/passive failover cluster
1)On Node 1, uncluster Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0. Reboot Node 1.
2)On Node 1, upgrade SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2000 as the default
instance.
You must install the binaries to a local drive and use a cluster disk for
the data. This local drive is a path, which is a non-clustered disk valid
on all nodes of the cluster. This drive on all nodes of the cluster must
have at least 300 megabytes (MB) of available space.
3)On Node 1, upgrade the default instance of SQL Server 2000 to a clustered
instance of SQL Server 2000.
For more information, see How to upgrade from a default instance to a
default clustered instance of SQL Server 2000 (SQL Server Setup).

|||SQL Server 2000 setup is cluster aware. When you run SQL Server 2000 setup. When you run the SQL 2000 setup for installing clustered instance, it will automatically copy all the required binaries on the other nodes
of the cluster.
