It would probably be easier to use DSC. Unfortunately, you would
have to take the system down for the copy operation (both disks have to be
unmounted). The problem with copying, is that RSX maintains a boot file and
STB entry for all of the files that start the OS (like MCR, DCL, MOUNT…)
If you just copy all of the files from DL0: to dl1: you still have to go to
directodl1:[1,54] (assign Dl1:=SY: and dl1:=lb:) and type VMR @sysvmr. Then
you have to boot the image (boot dl1:[1,54]rsx11m.sys) and type SAV /WB to
rewrite the boot block.
