It Depends.
The initial service pack or hotfix installation should be done at the node
that owns the resource. This will update all binaries and the share data
files. If you replace a node, you need to update the local binaries only.
That is when you run the installation from that node when it does NOT own
any group resources. The service pack installer will update the local
binaries only. This information is in the readme file for each service
pack.
