QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLA2340:
Firmware version 3.03.11 IPX, Driver version 8.00.02p11-fo

The servers in question only have 1 HBA in. However /etc/hp_qla2x00.conf has failover and load balancing set ...
# cat /etc/hp_qla2x00.conf
qdepth = 16
port_down_retry_count = 30
login_retry_count = 30
failover = 1
load_balancing = 1

# adapter_info -v
 Driver version = 8.00.02p11-fo
        Adapter state = READY
        Adapter model = QLA2340
        WWNN = 200000e08b808fe1
        WWPN = 210000e08b808fe1
        Queue depth = 16
        Port down retry count = 030
        Login retry count = 030

The servers will run fine for several weeks, then suddenly the error will occur.
