Sounds like you're running out of a (kernel) resource.

Anything in the system logs such as /var/adm/messages or /var/adm/syslog.dated/current/daemon.log or kern.log?

Does a reboot make the problem go away and for awhile?

I vaguely remember someone mentioned this can be a socket problem.

Looks like you have to increase the value of maxusers. Check its current value and I say double it. Our systems usually have maxusers=1024.

You may want to increase the value of max-proc-per-user & max-threads-per-user as well. Your original post said its 512 so double it to 1024.

/sys/conf/:
maxusers = 32

however all my process pertain to oracle user.
when some process is close, other can to open.

[Victor Semaska]

Definitely increase maxusers. I'd say to 128 if not more. '# man sys_attrs_proc' for details about maxusers and the other parameters.

'# man sysconfigdb' on how to update the values of the parameters. They're kept in /etc/sysconfigtab but it's recommended not to edit this file directly.

A reboot will be required.
