Output packet drops on Cisco 3850 switches

cisco-catalyst

i am getting output drops on switch
actually i have ethercannel bundleing 4 ports and those are connecting to our hyperV server. We have schedule mirror images to one of our another server everyday
So whenever transfer start we get alert from our Opmanager that discard rates of interface reaching to 80%
File transfer is quite big
i have checked interface cournters and i see output drops is also too high

here are some show commands results

We have not configured QOS or strom control so far
any suggestions please ???

Output queue: 0/0 (size/max)

Someone has gotten cute and disabled the output queue. If the frame cannot be forwarded immediately ("zero delay"), it's dropped. Obviously, Don't Do That™. (they're also playing with the input queue as the default isn't 2000.)

You'll see something like hold-queue 0 out in the interface configuration.
