This is not really the right way to do it.
- Install all updates from SLES10-Updates.
- keep it still online
- Add SLES10-SP1-Online Channel
- Install all the updates in there
- Remove SLES10-SP1-Online Channel
- Remove SLES10-Updates Channel
- Add SLES10-SP1-Updates Channel
- ... continue to use as usual.
Ciao, Marcus
