Could anyone tell to me the possible cases of UNICAST STORM.                    
                

One common cause is a host that receives a lot of traffic, but doesn't send it - e.g. a syslog server.

If the ARP timeout is > FDB timeout, when the FDB timeout expires, the packets will be flooded as unknown-unicast.

Either:

 1. Cause the host to emit traffic
 2. Lower the ARP time to < FDB timeout

Similar things can occur in HSRP setups on the standby route/switch.

If you can be a bit more specific about the symptoms you're seeing, people can probably make better suggestions.
