My original YUP directory was /var/SLES10-YUP and was its own file system. I unmounted it from /var/SLES10-YUP and mounted it on /var/cache/yup and renamed the directory structure and created the additional directory structure like follows so that /var/SLES10-YUP/SLES10/s390x became /var/cache/yup/SLES10-Updates/sles-10-s390x
ls -l /var/cache/yup/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 Jun 26 10:55 SLES10 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jun 26 08:16 SLES10-SP1-Online drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jun 26 08:16 SLES10-SP1-Updates drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jun 26 08:13 SLES10-Updates SLES10-Updates directory structure was renamed from SLES10. I updated /etc/sysconfig/yup as follows: YUP_DEST_DIR="/var/cache/yup" YUP_SERVER="nu.novell.com" YUP_SERVER_SLES="nu.novell.com" However, when I run YUP, it creates the SLES10 directory in /var/cache/yup and starts to download everything again. So I am confused again. I thought that making the above changes, the nu.novell.com and yup will mirror the SP1 stuff in the directory so I can have my SP1 stuff stored local before making the upgrade to SP1? What am I missing?

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.
