Having an issue with pretty much all of our new HPE Synergy hosts dropping packets. When I look at the nic stats I see "Receive over error" counts that match the packets dropped count. I'm struggling to find a clear explanation of what exactly that metric is though. Anyone have an idea?
esxcli network nic stats get -n vmnic3

We got the same on our Simplivites.
Have you found out what's the problem?
I'am facing the same issues.My infrastructure also uses hpe Synergy 480 Gen10.
Have u resolved that issues? Is there any update for us?
Hi
No, we had a long case running with vmware.
After several hours they sad, it would be a software glitch and we have to upgrade our ESX to 7.
We'll update our ESX in two weeks and then look again.
But I don't think it will fix the problem.
We'll see
