Copying Tapes for Distribution
7. 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
2. Load the tape or tapes on which you want to make the copy. Be sure that the tapes you
are copying to are write-enabled. Note the LDEV number or numbers of the tape drive
or drives.
3. 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>?
4. Type 2 in response to the prompt about which option you want to use:
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>? 2
5. SLTCOPY asks the name of the disk file you want to copy onto tape. In the following
example text, the file name TAPE1R55 is used. In its place, specify the name you
assigned to the disk file that you now want to copy to tape. The file description is then
displayed.
