Copying Tapes for Distribution
filename2
The name of the file on the remote system.
nodename
The name used to specify the remote system.
The following example shows how to create a remote disk file called CSLTVOL1 on a remote
system called REMSYS. Only the part of the procedure that differs from the normal
procedure for copying a tape into a disk file is shown.
:DSLINE REMSYS
:REMOTE HELLO USERNAME.ACCOUNT,GROUP
:FILE CSLTVOL1=CSLTVOL1:REMSYS
...
:SLTCOPY
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>? 1
New disk file name? *CSLTVOL1
...
Notice that the remote disk file name must be preceded with an asterisk (*).
Copying to or from a Remote Tape
Your system must have access to networking software (such as NS 3000/iX) to copy tapes
to or from other systems. You need to know the nodename where the tape or tapes are
mounted.
To copy to or from a remote tape drive, set up a file equation to point to the nodename of
the remote tape drive.
If the master tape is on the remote system, you need to copy from the remote system. Set
up the following file equation:
:FILE MASTER=MASTER:
nodename
; DEV=TAPE
where
nodename
is the specification for the remote system.
The following example shows how to copy to a local tape drive from a master CSLT on a
remote tape drive on a system called REMSYS. Only the part of the procedure that differs
from the normal procedure for copying is shown.
:DSLINE REMSYS
:REMOTE HELLO
username.account,group
:FILE MASTER=MASTER:REMSYS;DEV=TAPE
:SLTCOPY
Select mode (? = help)
Select mode 1 or 3
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
...
SLTCOPY redirects MASTER according to the file equation.
If you are copying to the remote system, the master tape is on the local system. Set up a
file equation for each copy you are making as follows:
