Hi,
What is the plan/requirment on sites to provide alternative resources? Glasgow's WMS do not support all VO's is there a requirement to allow more VO's, if so which ones? Glasgow also has a top level BDII. Other sites can reconfigure to use it but as RAL has a load balanced system and we do not I would suggest that we spread the load across other tier2 sites in order to avoid crashing ours.
Regards,
Dug
Hi,
Details of the Tier 1's extended downtime for the machine room move in June/July, the main points that will potentially affect other sites are the draining of the WMS from the 17-26th, and the downtime for Myproxy and top-level BDIIs on the 25th, and the LFC & FTS downtimes on the 25-26th.
Sites may wish to consider reconfiguring their UIs and WNs to avoid problems.

Subject: RAL Tier1. Details of outage during move to new computer building.
Hi,
The RAL Tier1 will be moving to a new computer building at the end of
June and beginning of July. The move will entail a significant outage of
the services: Castor will be unavailable for twelve days and the batch
system for around two weeks.
For the details of the outages please see the entry in the Tier1 blog
at:
http://www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/blog/2009/05/14/schedulemovenewbuilding/
To ensure as many people as possible are aware of this I have sent this
mail to both the gridpp-ub and gridpp-users lists. My apologies if you
receive it twice.

RAL Tier1 Production Manager.
