Hi Christopher,

I recommend posting this question in the ITRC forums under the HP-UX heading. Here's a link to that home page:

Hi

It means that the kernel file table has reached the maximum. You will need
to reconfigure the kernel and increase the nfiles parameter. The nfiles
parameter determines the size of the file table that is the maximum number
of the open files on the system.

Make the copy of the kernel and system file and
build in kernel.

You need to INCREASE nfile, and possibly ninode, maxfiles, and maxfiles_lim.

You can execute the following command :
# kmtune -q maxfiles -l
Parameter: maxfiles
Value: 2048
Default: 60
Minimum: 0
Module: -

#kmtune -q parameter -l

and execute

#
# sar -v 1 5
