Are you in an LPAR or under z/VM? You had an i/o fail. It retried and was likely successful (or you'd be having more pain).
You can have your HW vendor investigate. If you are under z/VM then there's probably some messages in the operator console as well. And EREP records. Under an LPAR, well, I don't know much about that :) Marcy This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

As far as I can tell, these messages have only appeared once. (I did not look that hard.) The message came out of our Linux LPAR system. Nov 29 17:20:08 busnfs kernel: dasd_erp(3990): 0.0.940f: channel or interface control check Nov 29 17:20:08 busnfs kernel: dasd_erp(3990): 0.0.940f: dasd_3990_erp_action_4: first time retry Should I let someone know about this?
