Check your IOCP and make sure that the channel and control unit definitions
for the 3990 disk controller these 3380s are attached to has PROTOCL=S4
specified if the control unit supports 4.5Mb/sec streaming. The messages are
indicating that I/O is trying to go too fast to the controller and the
channel subsystem is rejecting the request and performing recovery.

I think you have a typo here; the number in the message is 3990, not 3390.
This is a command reject from the control unit, not the disk.
