It is not important which cluster node you upgrade first in your organization. However, you need to evict the passive node first. For eviction, you need to stop the Cluster Service on the passive node, and then evict Node from the server cluster. active/passive clustered environment by doing a clean installation of Windows Server 2003 To upgrade a server cluster by using the clean installation method
