Take a look at http://www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=7010225&sliceId=2 for an explanation of what's what. With the introduction of the new maintenance model, a lot of things are going to be changing in this area. You might want to consider attending Marcus Kraft's session: 10739: Software Lifecycle Management with SUSE Wednesday, March 14, 2012: 1:30 PM-2:30 PM It won't be specifically about the new maintenance model, but Marcus will certainly be able to answer questions about it. Going back to the "move-to" patch for a minute; it will show up in the SLES11-SP1-Updates channel, since that's where all your system maintenance currently comes from. When that patch is released (apparently it's not out there yet), it will attempt to add the SP2 channels that are needed. As the TID explains, the channels that will be available are SLES11-SP2-Core SLES11-SP2-Extension-Store SLES11-SP2-Updates I would expect only the Core channel to have anything in it at the moment.
