  How to apply the SQL Server2008 R2 SP CU3 on a cluster? I ran the install on passive node (SQLA) first and used failover cluster Management to failove the SQL Server services to SQLA node after the installation completed. Right after that I applied the CU3 on new passive node (SQLB) and failback  SQL Server  Services to (SQLB). Everything is looking good. Am I doing right?
