dCache 1.8 / SRM 2.2 Deployment
Tier I's
The table below summarizes milestones in the deployment process of dCache 1.8 (SRM2.2) for the Tier I sites. Please note that at any time, any site may change the scheduling without further notice to dCache.org.

Tier II's
Theoretically, Tier II's may upgrade as soon as the dCache 1.8 production version will be available, which will be the second week of November. Nevertheless we would recommend to watch the upgrades of the Tier I's carefully to estimate the efforts for your site. Furthermore, we would recommend to consider to participate the Edinburgh workshop in November to learn more on how to setup dCache according to the requirements of the experiments.
OSG Tier II's : End of February, dCache 1.8 will be packaged with the OSG VDT distribution, which is the point in time from which on OSG will officially support dCache 1.8.
