Hello,

It looks like we hit the same file descriptor ptoblem.I tried to
increase the number of allowed open fd though ulimit, but I got the
following error message:
"ksh: ulimit: exceeds allowable limit"

I checked /etc/system file and did not find
rlim_fd_max
rlim_fd_cur

Please advise on how I can increase # of allowed open file descriptors.

Is there a limit of number of threads (LWP) per process?


Thanks,
Alona
