I have a single 2008R2 windows server with 9 SQL 2008R2 standard instances install. This server is also setup as a three node failover cluster. Two SQL and one witness. I need to in line update only one of the instances to SQL 2012. Has anybody have any experience in doing this? Am I able to do this without affecting any of the other SQL instances?

First thought is doing a separate install of 2012 and then migrate the data from the 2008, least interference and a clear fallback path.

Yes that was my first thought as well, getting pushback from my System Admin. Just need to make a good enough case to have this happen.
