I can't remember if we ever saw that specific error, but we had controller crash issues late last fall. We were monitoring it closely to diagnose the issue and we saw buffer allocation failures above 14million and allocated frames in the 9K-10K range. We were told from support that our current 3.4.3.2 version was unable to handle the traffic spikes we were seeing due to smaller buffer sizes and it would crash authZ process and make the controller unusable. We ran a c-build to get us through it. And now we are running 6.1.2.6 without that issue any longer. I'm not sure if it's present in 5.0.4.4 or not, but it might be worth asking Aruba TAC.

We're seeing sporadic, intermittent, but debilitating performance issues (mainly on a WPA encrypted SSID) with this error. Saw it with 5.0.3.3 and upgraded to 5.0.4.4 per TAC's suggestion. Error message persists. With 5.0.3.3 we saw thousands of buffer allocation failures. 5.0.4.4 hasn't manifested those (yet). :304001: <ERRS> |stm| Unexpected stm (Station managment) runtime error at wifi_handle_sta_management, 4205, wifi_handle_sta_management:4205 -- ----------------------------- Steve Hess Network Administrator Wheaton College Phone: 508-286-3404 Fax: 508-286-8270 ----------------------------- ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
