Re: excessive inbound/outbount discards with all my VPARs showing in lanadmin
In most cases this is expected behavior.
Typically what we see when different HP support tools are used shows the inbound discards are because the VM/vPar virtual NIC is receiving multicast packets. These packets are discarded because the guest has no multicast listener program subscribing to the Mulitcast "channel", that would read the packets. This is a normal condition on any network, Virtualized, or not.

Re: excessive inbound/outbount discards with all my VPARs showing in lanadmin
Thanks Dave,
I understand your clarification, but in my case all the npars (physical hardware) are showing 0 (zero) for inbound/outbound discards while all the vpars are showing extremely high values above 100,000.
How could i justify to the customer that this is a normal occurrence?
Best regards,
Yaboto
