SPS logs refer to log information internally held by NEC Storage PathManager, and information regarding
operation of NEC Storage PathManager and failed I/O are recorded in the SPS logs. SPS logs are stored in a
log storage folder (installation directory \Log) and consist of a currently used log file and the previous log file.
At the time of program installation, only the currently used log file exists.
The currently used log file is named "spsevent.log" and stores logs up to the size of 5 MB, which is the
maximum size of the file.
When the currently used log file becomes full, the file name changes to "spsevent.log.old." This will be
kept as the log file of the previous generation. Then a new "currently used log file" named "spsevent.log" is
created, and logs will be stored in this file.
