      Work on multi-VO Dirac Rucio integration continues. It is based on Belle 2 implementation.
       
      There are 3 main components:
      1) RSE and user synchronisation agent.
          The agent runs periodically and reads SE and user data from Dirac  Configuration System and defines/updates RSEs and users in Rucio. It is done on the VO by VO basis. Completed.
       
       
      2) RSS - RSE status synchronisation. Similar to 1), but it updates a status of a RSE when it changes in Dirac. Multi-VO enabled. Completed.
       
      3) Rucio File catalog client. Once RSEs and users are defined work on modifying the client for multi VO can start. In progress.
       
      We use a test Dirac server and  Multi VO Rucio server at IC.
