I think it is doing even more then that. It is installing packages that I had not installed previously. My root filesystem usage jumped significanyally.
I do use YUP to mirror the updates but use YaST2 to install the updates. YUP is pointing to nu.novell.com after applying the switch_server patch. I simply point YaST2 to my local YUM server. In this case, this is the local YUM server and YaST2 is simply pointing to a local directory. The process seems to have completed successfully. It rebooted everything and I get the following: CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date! found SLE-10-s390x-SP1 from SPident You mentioned, ?moved the contents of the old directories into the new ones, and restarted it? What were the old and what is the new? What directories are you referring to here? I have no idea what happened here as part of the patching and will restore and do it again to get a better understanding. Also, my file systems usage is a lot greater and I need to explain that as well. Since I will be restarting from scratch, can you describe the steps necessary to upgrade to SP1 or point me in the direction of some doc. Right now my YUP is mirroring everything to /VAR/SLES10-YUP directory. Maybe I can take some good notes and post them for those that follow behind us. What do you think?

That's because you're using YUP, and not YaST's Online Update. There was a change made to YUP that changed which directories things got put into by default. So, it will re-download everything the first time you run it. (Since YUP is part of the SDK, and hence not supported, per se, there wasn't a whole lot of information about this change disseminated.) I ran into this myself, so I stopped YUP, moved the contents of the old directories into the new ones, and restarted it. You'll still see a bunch of stuff getting download, since there will be two new channels available: SLES10-SP1-Online which contains all the patches needed to bring a system up to SP1 via Online Update SLES10-SP1-Updates which contains all the patches issued after SP1. When SP2 comes out, I suspect you'll see two more channels added.
