Hi,

The following message is appearing number of times on the syslog. Is it very critical and what could be the cause?

do_accept : too many open files

Thanks

John,

You will have to increase maxfile kernel parameter.

You can monitoring the nfile with sar -v 1

Exemple:

HP-UX sbd3 B.11.11 U 9000/800 03/03/04

14:30:09 text-sz ov proc-sz ov inod-sz ov file-sz ov
14:30:10 N/A N/A 466/2300 0 3096/4000 0 10484/32778 0

Here, i have 10484 files open for a maximum of 32778
