Well, if you do a "smt-catalogs | grep SLES11-SP1" you find a -Pool, not a -Online.
It looks like -Core contains all the catalogs like -Pool did on SP1, so presumably, I need that. zypper lu -t patch doesn't find anything like a "move-to" patch. Of course, it would have to be pointed to either novell.com or an SMT server that has mirrored all the right things. So I guess that's what I'm asking - what to mirror in SMT to find the right things to get to SP2.

Actually, that was the SP1-Online catalog, not Pool. Pool contained all the RPMs that were on the installation media. > What should we be mirroring if we want to online upgrade (via zypper) from > SP1 to SP2 ?

According to section 7.5 of the Deployment Guide (Upgrading with zypper), that should be taken care of by the patch that will start the migration to SP2. In SLES11 GA, it was the "move-to-sp1" patch. I'm guessing there will be an equivalent for SP2 which you should be able to see by "zypper lu -t patch".
