HP-UX error 23
and I'm receiving an Oracle error that indicates that "Oracle is not able to create the file being used to hold audit trail records". The related HP-UX error 23 says "File table overflow". Obivously I've run out of space somewhere. Where or what should I be looking for?
Thanks

Re: HP-UX error 23
The number of open files allowed by the kernel's 'nfile' parameter has been exceeded. You will need to increase this (via SAM (Kernel Configuration)) and reboot. You can use 'glance' to check the current nfile utilization via the [t]able report. See this document for more information:

Re: HP-UX error 23
In SAM I can't change the calculated value without altering the formula. How can I safely increase the nfile value?

Re: HP-UX error 23
Other than nfile, the kernel parameters you would want to take note and verify would be maxfiles and maxfiles_lim. maxfiles indicates the number of files a process is allowed to have open at any given time.
These parameters are especially important in an Oracle MTS (multi-threaded server) environment.
Hope this helps. Regards.

Re: HP-UX error 23
You are correct in that 'nfile's value is based on several other parameters. My preference is to increase 'maxusers' since increasing maxusers impacts 'nproc' and both impact 'nfile'. I lean toward staying with the formulas, rather than overridding them with discrete values, to attempt to keep the best interrelationships among the various parameters.

They had the same problem as you.
On my workstations, i modified the two kernel paramaeters in this way :
nproc (20+16*MAXUSERS)
nfile (64*(NPROC+16+MAXUSERS)/10+32+2*(NPTY+NSTRPTY+NSTRTEL))
