Thanks Mark, I am working on a document that I will send the list outlining our experiences mirroring and upgrading to SP1. It is quite different then SLES9. We also experienced some gotchas as well. Hopefully I will post it this week before someone else runs into the same problems we did.

What am I missing? First, make sure you have a version of YUP that understands SP1 exists. The version I have is yup-218-26.1. Then, check /etc/sysconfig/yup, and make sure there is a parameter called YUP_SUBVERSIONS. If it's not there, you're not using the right version of YUP. If it is there, update it so that it looks like this: YUP_SUBVERSIONS="GA SP1" If you don't want to keep mirroring the updates to the GA version, you can leave the GA string out of the parameter. There won't be any _new_ updates to that channel, from what I'm told. Just FYI, but if you want YUP_SERVER_SLES to be the same as YUP_SERVER, just set YUP_SERVER and YUP_SERVER_SLES (and YUP_SERVER_SLED) will default to have the same value.
