Correct [YES]? [RETURN]
If you press [RETURN] in response to “Old disk file name?”, you will return to the main
SLTCOPY menu.
6. SLTCOPY then asks for the number of copies. Type the number of copies you are making
at this time. (This number must correspond to the number of tapes you have mounted
on tape drives.)
Enter the number of copies (1-9):
You need to have more than one tape drive on the system to make more than one copy
at a time. So to make six tape copies, you need to have six tape drives connected to the
system.
7. You will see the following message on the terminal where you ran SLTCOPY:
Reply for COPY1 is needed.
On the system console, you need to reply with the PIN number and the LDEV number
of the device to 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 8.
?15:19/#S2/49/LDEV# FOR “COPY1” ON TAPE (NUM)?

Writing tape.
If you are making more than one copy at a time, you need to respond with the LDEV
numbers of the rest of the tape devices as the messages appear. The copies will be
named consecutively COPY1, COPY2, COPY3, etc. up to COPY n where n is the
number of copies you are making.
8. When it finishes making the tape, SLTCOPY informs you how long it took to make the
tape and provides other information about the tape. It then redisplays the main
SLTCOPY menu.
