6. You will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY:
Reply for MASTER is needed.
On the system console, you need to reply with the PIN number and the LDEV number
of the device from which you are copying.
Following is an example tape reply performed at the system console. In the example,
the PIN is 74 and the LDEV number is 7. SLTCOPY then begins to read the tape. It
displays the create date of the CSLT tape.

7. It takes approximately 8-10 minutes to copy each 2400 ft. half-inch magnetic tape to a
disk file; it takes approximately one hour to copy a DDS tape. SLTCOPY informs you how
long it actually took to make the file. It then redisplays the main SLTCOPY menu.
When you finish making a separate disk file for each tape volume in the CSLT tape set,
you can copy each file to tape, making as many copies as you need to support additional
systems.

Copying the CSLT Files from Disk to Tape
The disk files created by SLTCOPY can now be copied onto tape. You can make up to nine
copies of each disk file at a time (depending on the number of tape drives attached to your
system). Each disk file must be copied to a separate tape.
You can also copy a disk file to or from a remote tape device. Refer to the section “Copying
to or from Remote Disk Files.”
To copy each file that represents a volume of the CSLT:
1. Log on to the INSTALL group of the SYS account. For example:
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
