Migrating to DPM
The following link contains LCG's instructions for [migrating a Classic SE (https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/ClassicSeToDpm)]. After the migration the sfn:// LFNs are still valid when talking to DPM's gridftp server.

Decommissioning a Classic SE
It is also possible to shut it down. For details, please refer to the general SE_Shutdown procedure.
