I've not gone through an upgrade in place yet, so this may be the case. Hard to say without a before and after list of RPMs. (There may be new dependencies, etc.) > 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.

Right, this is what I was referring to. -snip- > 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? The old directory structure was (by default) /tmp/SLE10-YUP/SLES10/s390x/... The new one is (again by default) /var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Online/sles-10-s390x/... /var/cache/yup/SLES10-SP1-Updates/sles-10-s390x/... /var/cache/yup/SLES10-Updates/sles-10-s390x/... Since YUP won't see anything remotely like SLES10-Updates in your /var/sles10-yup/ directory, it will download all those rpms again, as well as the new stuff in SP1-Online and SP1-Updates. Quite a bit of additional space will be taken up. I interrupted the process and moved everything below /tmp/SLE10-YUP/SLES10/s390x/ to /var/cache/yup/SLES10-Updates/sles-10-s390x/ -snip- > 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. You should be able to see this without an NCC userid and password, but if not, just sign in: How to update to SLES/SLED 10 SP1 https://secure-support.novell.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/716/3509359_f.html > Maybe I can take some good notes and post them for those that follow > behind us. What do you think? I always think that's a good idea.
