Maxfiles_lim value increase

[Carl Munnelly]

I want to increase value of maxfiles_lim and maxfiles on N400-44 from 2048 to 4096.

However when I set new size for maxfiles_lim I'm told this is greater than the maximum value allowed which is 2048

Any ideas?

Shalom Carl,

See if there are any formulas limiting the value. If there are not, punt, find something else to do.

What has prompted you to want to increase this value?

Maybe look at some performance data.

No formulae in variable variable is currently set to 2048 and so is maxfiles.

Oracle user exceeded limit.

Hi Carl:

'maxfiles_lim' is the "hard" limit whose upper bound is constrained by the parameter 'nfiles'. You can change 'nfiles' to increase the 'maxfiles_lim' boundry.

Check the info here for maxfiles_lim:
http://docs.hp.com/en/TKP-90202/re36.html?btnNext=next%A0%BB

The limit for it is the same as the value of 'nfile'. So to increase maxfiles_lim, you also need to increase nfile.
