Abstract

A computational device receives an indication of a minimum retention time in a cache for a plurality of tracks of an application. In response to determining that tracks of the application that are stored in the cache exceed a predetermined threshold in the cache, the computational device demotes one or more tracks of the application from the cache even though a minimum retention time in cache has been indicated for the one or more tracks of the application, while performing least recently used (LRU) based replacement of tracks in the cache.
