Storage • 80% of sites have SRM 1.1 by end Dec 05 • Already ~14 out of 17 – 82% • 100% to have SRM 1.1 by end Jan 06 • 40% to have 2.1 by end Feb 06 • Already ~8/17 (47%) DPM • But should upgrade anyway, so perhaps 0/17 • (And we have more than 17 sites) • 100% to have 2.1 by end Mar 06 Storage Middleware
Classic SEs • … to have no Classic SEs by end Mar • SE shutdown procedure: • Migrate to DPM; or • Shut down: • Warn VO – listing files they own • Prevent upload (publish 0 free?) • Wait • Pull the plug Storage Middleware
Tier 1 Storage • Currently provides SRM (to disk and tape) via dCache • RAL’s tapestore will switch to CASTOR2 • For HEP • Not using CASTOR 1 for prod’n • Tier 1 will use CASTOR2 SRM 2.1 • By May/June… not by April Storage Middleware

Some questions? • How many boxen does a site need for SC4? • How many sysadmins? Skills? • SE • Network: how much bandwidth/availability • And hardware? • And storage capacity? Storage Middleware
