User documentation for CASTOR at the RAL Tier-1
CASTOR is a software technology used to manage a large tape-based storage system. It was developed at CERN, but it has been customised for the environment at RAL. This page has a brief explanation of the system and some guidance for uses, with pointers to more detailed information. The information is especially aimed at non-LHC VOs.
CASTOR components
CASTOR is a complex system with a number of more-or-less separate components. General information about CASTOR can be found on the CERN web site: CASTOR home page at CERN CASTOR User Guide However, the configuration at RAL is somewhat different, so this page explains some of the RAL-specific details.
