Summary of sps features and limitations
The important points about the sps for Secure Path v3.0C for Linux program are
as follows:
■ Runs at boot time, normally.
■ Creates symbolic links in /dev/spdev, which should be used in place of
the normal device driver files.
■ Tracks a device between reboots even if device moves to another bus or slot.
■ Can fill up persistence data file to a maximum of 128 LUNs.
■ Persistence data file may contain LUN information for LUNs that will never
return.
■ Editing out stale LUNs in the sppf data file is the only way to free slots for
new LUNs.
