* Monday Jan 16 - The procedures are yet to be defined and notified to the relevant people.
* Tuesday Jan 17 - The whole ADC system will be completely down most of the day to prepare for and to recover from the migration of databases (10:00 - 14:00 CET); : no jobs can be submitted or data accessed.
* As this is a major operation, there is a small chance that the downtime may need to be extended by one day if unforeseen problems occur.
You are recommended not to submit distributed analysis jobs on the grid that would not finish by Tuesday morning. Or, in case you have jobs finishing during the downtime, you would need to re-submit them after the downtime.
In addition, there will be a set of downtimes of CASTOR as follows;
> January 11 (all morning): NameServer upgrade: CASTOR unavaible for ATLAS (and all other experiments)
> January 16 (morning 2 hours): CASTOR-ATLAS SRM and Stager DB upgrade
