Hello,

I have a central repository server with SMT. I’d like to have this
repo server supply the clients (currently SLES11) with the SP1 update.

A few questions…

  1. Do I need to download the full SP1 product, and create a repository
    with it?
  2. Do all the client’s repositories change to just the SLES11-SP1
    product?
  3. Following the above steps, a zypper dup will upgrade it?

I’m an referencing this doc too:
‘How to upgrade to SLES/SLED 11 SP1’
(http://www.novell.com/support/viewContent.do?externalId=7005410&sliceId=1)

Also, I have SDK as a repo on the SMT server. I never installed the SDK
product on the clients. I just simply added the repo and zypper in a
package when I need it. Should I have fully installed the SDK product on
the clients?

Thanks.[/color]
