[Spacewalk-list] Upgrading SLES SP3 to SP4

I have a couple of questions.
1. The command "zypper dup" say's that it performs a distribution upgrade. Are you suggesting that I upgrade this way?
2. I'm currently testing with a couple of test servers that I have. I did a fresh install of SLES 11 SP3, registered it with my SW server, but it registered as "System is up-to-date".
I know this server needs updates. I can run "zypper lu" and see that it needs a number of updates.
Yet, SW still claims that it is up-to-date. I have a handful of other server, SLES 11 SP3, and all registered exactly the same, and all show that they require updates. I can't figure out why these test servers are different.
Thanks.
Daryl

Hi Daryl,
I would just change the channels of the clients from SP3 to SP4 and then run a "zypper dup" on the clients.
This is how I upgraded clients from SP2 to SP3.

Robert

How is the best way to change a SW repository?
We are in the process of upgrading our SLES servers to SP4. I registered a few of the SP3 machines to the SW server. I took one of those registered SP3 machines, deleted it from SW, upgraded it to SP4, then attempted to re-register using the SP4 activation key. That didn't work so well. I had to completely clean out all of the rhn and spacewalk packages from the client, re-install from the spacewalk repository. I basically had to go back through all of the steps in registering a server to get it to register to the SP4 repositories.
Is there an easier way to change the repository?
Thanks
Daryl
