We have been forced to delay our planned migration of the Tier-1 to the new R89 machine room. Migration was due to commence on 3rd March and take 14 days. We do not yet have a new migration date planned, and do not intend to set one until the building is in our hands. Once R89 is available to us we will negotiate a new date with companies scheduled to move our hardware. I expect that we will be able to give at least one months notice ahead of the planned downtime. We will also take into account the LHC experiments' need for stability before data taking commences.

Regards
Andrew
