Hi,
"Expire time" in TS7700 scratch category means when TS7700 deletes the
scratched volume file on the TVC after the volume's category was changed
from private to scratch. Before the scratched volume file on the TVC is
deleted, you can reuse the volume data by changing the volume attribute
from scratch to private.
But "Expire Time" is based on the best effort. If all scratch volumes
which exceed expire time are exhausted, scratch volumes which don't
exceed expire time will be selected as scratch volume. In this
situation, you can't reuse the volume data before overwritten.
So if you want to ensure that scratch volumes which don't exceed expire
time are not selected for scratch volume, you need to check "Expire Hold".

I just RTFM, but I'm not sure about scratch category definition in VTS
TS7700.
I mean Expire Hold Settings and Expire Hold checkbox.
My understanding:
No expiration - scratch will *never* be reused. ...or maybe it means
the scratch is available for reuse immediately after transition from
private to scratch?
Expire Hold, let's say 48h. That means the scratch will be available
two days after the transition from private to scratch.
Q: What is the meaning of Expire Hold checkbox?
