smartctl error end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector

Question

I have a Scientific Linux 6.5 server with a RAID with SSD disks. I see several error on dmesg file but there is no alert or errors provided by the utilities of the RAID controller (LSI controller).

The server is a Supermico D20-4x-M4, connected directly using Infiniband to a storage server with the SSD RAID. The controller is LSI MegaRaid SAS 9286CV-8e. And the disk are SAMSUNG MZ7WD120.

The errors of the dmesg files are the following:

# dmesg

Also I tried with:

smartctl /dev/sdb -a -T permissive

with the following result:

Thanks in advance.

What type of controller are you using? What make/model of server is in use here? Which SSDs are these? Can you post the output of `lsscsi`? — ewwhite, Aug 29 '14 at 12:11
It doesn't look like the Samsung SSDs are connected to your LSI controller. — ewwhite, Aug 29 '14 at 19:19
@ewwhite you are right, the disk which are failing are not connected to the LSI controller. Any suggestion or idea to solve this problem? — jmlero, Sep 02 '14 at 08:36
@ewwhite it is not possible to shutdown the machine at this moment. I was trying to find a way to solve or fix this error without a shutdown of the machine. — jmlero, Sep 02 '14 at 12:56
