Hi Mitul,


This tunable is now private and deprecated. It should no longer be used. The system open ï¬ le table was restructured in 11iV3 to remove the architectural limitations on this value, and, therefore, nfile is no longer needed.

The recommended way to regulate the maximum number of open ï¬ les on the system is to set the values of maxfiles_lim and nproc appropriately; the theoretical system maximum can be assumed to be (maxfiles_lim * nproc).

For details, refer:

Hope this info helps.

Regards,
Pradeep
