We use smt for our repositories. I went through the procedure and the test server was upgraded successfully. I deleted/removerepo the old SP1 and SP2 repositories, however any subsequent suse_register (say moving from "full" to "testing") brings back the old SP1 and SP2 repositories (they are disabled however).
