This went into production this weekend.
nfile was first set to 2000
This was reached after 30 minutes of production.
I increased to 4000, and was reached after 1.5 hours.
I now have it at 6000, and it's climbing steadily.
I am worried that tere may be processes unnecessarily opening files.
Does anyone know how I might find such processes?
PS: I do not have Glance Plus
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYou may use fuser -u or lsof to list open files. Go to the following link for details:

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
This really helps in solving this type of problem as you can see all the files opened by a particular process.

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
For something like filenet, I would think you'd need to set nfiles fairly high since it since it deals with lots of documents.
Also, sar -v can give you the current usage of nfile (good for writing a monitor script).
Hope this helps.

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
I would put nfiles to at least 10,000 for this system.

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
get 'lsof' or 'fuser'. It will help you see who opens and / or uses which file.
If it is a fileserver, 2000 files is a way too low limit. Put it at least 20000.
(I have a fileserver (on Linux actually) that has more than 100000 files)

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
OK..first get on that mail list that you can find at www.filenet.com. You will get alot of mail you don't want..but put it in a Filenet folder and archive everything..you will need it one day - believe me !!
Next,
What are you running and the versions? This is important, because if your TC is not UNIX savy...you have not been told the whole story !!
FileNet is strictly raw devices...so be careful assigning anything. Do you run visual workflow on HPUX? If you do..it has it's own special headaches you need to watch out for.
=== FileNet will 'breath' across a system if it is tuned right and closely monitored. But tuned wrong and your system will be down so fast you won't know what hit ya !! And don't monitor it all the time...and watch how quick it will choke !
Let us know what you have and what versions - and what your running it on !

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
We have the following FileNET software:
IDMIS 3.5.0 + SP2
VW 3.03
HP-UX 11.0
The FileNET install manuals suggest rather low valuse for nfiles: 1000
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: nfiles limit keeps being reached.
First..double check your semm parms, make sure you gave the calculated value, then add a little more.
Next if you need to look at your msg parms...I at 3.4.2 on a Kbox..Mine are set at:
msgmap 8002
msgmax 8192
msgmnb 16384
msgmni 5000
msgseg 20000
msgssz 8
msgtql 8000
This might help give you an idea of what you need to set up on yours..
Do you run that daemon dldd???
