## Objective
7+
8+
The purpose of this SIG is to allow a RSE handle in an automatic manner storage
9+
with two different qualitiy of services based on access latency. Initial work in
10+
this area differentiates between disk and tape within the same RSE. New data files
11+
are initially pinned on disk either for the lifetime of the rule or up to the
12+
maximum set by the storage site. After the pin expires the local storage system is
13+
free to stage the file to tape for further access. When Rucio needs to access such
14+
files again, the bring on line command is given to the RSE and the file is
15+
transferred from tape to disk if needed. Currently this is being tested with dCache.
16+
In the future, it can be extended to other storage systems where appropriate.
17+
At the end of this SIG a report will be written documenting the status of this
18+
activity. Rucio's metadata functionality or interested in using it, to ascertain if the
19+
functionality currently provided in this area is sufficient for their current and
20+
expected future use cases. This information will be distilled into the form of a
21+
small report, where, if missing functionality is identified, the report will serve
22+
to aggregate any similar requests and prioritise them, with the goal of delivering
23+
a tentative roadmap to guide development.
24+
25+
