Solutionkctune -v vx_maxlink
Should give you the current value of vx_maxlink parameter.
Are you sure that you have reached that limit?
For one file, you can find out the number of hard links like this:
ls -l your_file
-rw------- 1 root root 2379 Nov 12 2008 your_file
The second column (1 in this sample) contain has this info.
From man vx_maxlink:
vx_maxlink ├в Configure the number of links to a file
....
DESCRIPTION
The vx_maxlink tunable is used to configure the number of links possible to a file on VxFS filesystem
As vx_maxlink is initialized when system is booted, the changes made to vx_maxlink will take effect only from the next system reboot.

Re: vx_maxlink parameter current value
As Horia asked, any reason you think you need more than that many hardlinks to the same file?

You can use #kcusage to check the usage

Re: vx_maxlink parameter current value
If you go crazy, you get this error:
ln: too many links to make_hlink
-rwxrwxr-x 32767 326 Apr 20 15:42 make_hlink
EMLINK The maximum number of links to a file would be exceeded.

Re: vx_maxlink parameter current value
Any link to any file? Meaning that you get an error even if you try to make a link to a file with a small number of links to it? Try to make a new file (touch test.txt) and then try to make a hard link to it (ln -f test.txt link1.txt)
This parameter (vx_maxlink) sets the number of possible links to a file. Not to all files (combined - sum of all links to all files from the filesystem).
