Cisco2960XR dropped packets on iSCSI traffic

Hi, we have installed 4 new 2960XR switches (2 stacks interconnected with 2x10Gbit) and 2 HP VSA storage nodes. The VSA storage is spamming errors about excessive packet loss since it's configured (even when no VM's where active).

The VSA storage is connected at 10Gbit, the ESXi hosts are connected at 2x1GBit for iSCSI traffic.

The interfaces used for iSCSI to the ESXi hosts show a lot of dropped packets.

There is a MLS qos configuration active that is not done by me;

Anyone know what I can do to stop the packet loss on the iSCSI traffic?
