Hi guys,

we are using a HPE apollo server as a linux backup repository(SOBR) & proxy. we are getting number of threads exceeded error almost every day. we are wodering what is causing this? does this mean the CPU is being overutilized?or anything else is causing this?

Hi,

It may not be the actual processor which is giving this error.
Defpending on your Linux flavour and version, please check what is the system-wide maximum number of threads (tasks) to be used by the kernel at one time.
