File table overflow

Vincent Lam_1 — Sun, 09 Jan 2005 23:20:18 GMT

My Java server application keeps complaining "File table overflow" when opening a socket connection. What can I do now? is it related to the file descriptors? We've already tuned the file descriptors to max already!!! HELP!!

Hi,

This problem is related to kernel tuning.

Please increase the value of nfile parameter.

hi,

you can search on the itrc forum .you will get somany threads regding this.

you have to increase the nfile parameter in the hpux kernel .you have to regenerate your kernel and a reboot is required for this.
