You need to repeat the above procedure for each tape volume that makes up the CSLT you
want to copy.
Copying the CSLT from Tape to Disk
You can use SLTCOPY to copy the CSLT/STORE tape volumes to disk. You have to copy each
tape volume to a separate disk file. You can only name the disk files using traditional MPE
file names. SLTCOPY does not recognize HFS file names (such as /SYS/PUB/CSLTRel55).
You can also copy each tape to a remote disk file. Refer to the section “Copying to or from
Remote Disk Files” on page E-16.
Before you start to copy the CSLT to disk be sure to log on to the INSTALL group in the SYS
account. For example:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL
To copy each CSLT tape volume into a separate disk file:
1. Load the tape you want to copy from. Start with the first tape volume of the CSLT if you
have more than one. Be sure that the write enable ring is removed from the tape or that
the tape is otherwise write-protected. Note the LDEV number of the tape drive.
2. Invoke SLTCOPY on any terminal. You do not need to be on the system console. However,
you will need to answer tape requests at the system console.
:SLTCOPY
The SLTCOPY menu is displayed:
Select mode (? = help):
1 Copy tape to disk file
2 Copy disk file to tape
3 Copy tape to tape
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>?
3. Type 1 in response to the prompt about which option you want to use:
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E'
to exit>? 1
4. SLTCOPY requests the name of the disk file to which you want to copy the tape. You can
specify any valid file name that conforms to MPE syntax.
New disk file name? TAPE1R55
5. You can then specify a phrased description of the file and a version number. You can use
these fields to best suit your particular needs.
