Hi All Friends,

After onsite checked, I found the problem was caused by external storage. There is a virtual device which would not be assigned a LUN to it. When system boot, it will generated the Buffer IO error message.

Thanks all for your support and tips.

The solution is:

Remove the virtual device from the storage configuration tools. rescan the devices.

Problem fixed.

Have a day!
