Context Allocation Failures
There are a number of event codes for which the interpretation contains the phrase "context allocation
failure" - these types of events are referring to the internal memory constructs of the Emulex Storport
Miniport driver and as such are intended for Emulex design engineer's information. If a customer
encounters such an event, they should contact Emulex support for analysis and determination if that
particular event may be an indicator of a failed adapter or of some problem with interaction between the
adapter, the Emulex Storport Miniport driver, the host operating system and the host memory.
Note: Context allocation failures are rare.
