Copying Tapes for Distribution
242
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 COPYn. Where n is the number of copies you are making.
9. When it finishes copying the tapes, SLTCOPY informs you how long it took to copy the tapes and provides
other information about the tapes. It then redisplays the main SLTCOPY menu.

To copy another tape, select 3. If you are finished, type E to exit the program.
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.
