Hi,
In order to apply an update to the Oracle databases behind Castor (to version 10.2.0.5) the whole of Castor at the RAL Tier1 will be down from 08:00 (local time = UTC) on Monday 31st January. It is planned to return Castor to production by 18:00 the same day.
The batch system will be drained starting 24 hours earlier (at 08:00 on Sunday 30th January). Once Castor is back the batch system will be re-started.
Note that other Oracle databases (those behind the the LFC, FTS and 3D services) will need to be upgraded at a later date. Also, for CMS (srm-cms) the intervention will be longer as the CMS disk servers will be upgraded over the Monday & Tuesday 31/Jan-1/Feb.

RAL Tier1 Production Manager.
