| 6 | +## 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. |
