I have 2 DC's with 2 IBM X370 server clustered with
Microsoft Cluster Service. I want to deploy Service Pack
4 on the Cluster. We are running SQL 2000, Exchange 5.5,
MSMQ, and IIS for load balancing. I have SQL 2000 SP3 and
Exhcange SP4 running as well. I have a IBM Fast-T fiber
SAN. I loaded SP3 and I ran into problems with MSMQ
requiring Kerberos to be set on the Virtual server name.
My question is, has anyone experience any lost of data or
system crash by deploying SP4 on their cluster?

Worked OK for me in the test lab. Only issues were with Hummingbird NFS
gateway 7.1 which caused issues. This is a known bug and a patch has
been made available by Hummingbird for this. I haven't tested this yet as
deploying SP4 is not a major requirement yet for us. You may still wanna
test this in your lab before going live.
