And I meant the Tier1.

Can I make sure I understand this, are we talking about the dCache
service on RAL Tier 1 and not RAL Tier 2?  If Tier 1 then I was under
the impression that this service will remain in place until the end of
the year along with the disk service.  We (MINOS) do have data there
which must not be deleted.  We have still to get a reliable CASTOR
service, although it has been fine for the last 3 days, and we need that
before we can migrate off dCache.
 
Cheers,
