FILE TABLE OVERFLOW

[Pablo Villegas]

Hello I am getting an error in an HP-UX 11.11 "File table overflow" when many people are working remotely against it. I have searched through the docs.hp.com and the problem it because I need to configure more file descriptors. The issue is that I do not know whta is the correct variable name I have to change in the kernel configuration enviroment variables (maxfiles, nfile, ...) and what the formula have to be. Does anybogy know what??s the proper solution??

Thanks

Hi,
there are may issue in designig the correct values.

I can give you mine favorites, for a sap development installation.

maxfiles 2048
maxfiles_lim 2048
nfile (15*NPROC+2048)
nflocks (NPROC)
ninode (8*NPROC+2048)
nproc 2048

You can check your values with
sar -v to see if they are enough

HTH,
Massimo
