random vm storage issues (FCPIO_ITMF_REJECTED)..

Has anyone seen this, its the first time I've ran into an issue like this, and it showed up out of nowhere and has been getting worse over the last 3 weeks. I looked up the sense data and I'll include the error I see in the logs below. Basically, some vms are getting random disk errors, we were finally able to reproduce it and while watching esxtop the vm io stats go to zero and about 2 minutes later this error message shows in the vmkernal log. We have a support case open , but wanted to get a second opinion since they aren't moving all that fast. It seems if I move the vm to two newly created datastores this doesn't happen, these all are on the same netapp array so I'm not sure why the new datastore works better. If there is a reference to better understand these errors I'd appreciate it.

Turned out to be a bad sfp. the optical signal that the storage was receiving was out of normal operating thresholds
