2 Copy disk file to tape
3 Copy tape to tape
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>?
To copy another disk file to tape, select 2. If you are finished, type E to exit the program.
You need to repeat the above procedure for all of the disk files that make up the CSLT that you want to copy.
Copying to or from Remote Disk Files
You can use the procedures described in the sections “Copying the CSLT from Tape to Disk” and “Copying
from Disk to Tape” when copying to or from a remote disk file. Your system must have access to networking
software (such as NS 3000) to connect remotely with other systems. You need to know the node name of the
remote system on which the disk file is or will be placed.
To copy to a remote file, set up a file equation to point to the name of the remote file:
:FILE filename1 = filename2:nodename
where:
filename1 The name following an asterisk to specify to SLTCOPY.
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 N S3000/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.
