SAP Note 4243 - Too many open files

Component : Installation Tools -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/4243 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Users may encounter the error message "Too many open files" due to a restriction set by the kernel parameter on the number of concurrently open files. This generally involves operating systems like HP-UX, SINIX, and Solaris, where specific kernel parameters like maxfiles, HFNOLIM, and descriptors respectively need adjustments. Current SAP Release versions recommend different values depending on the system. To remedy this issue, the parameters need to be increased as per the installation guide instructions. For instance, on HP-UX, the parameters maxfiles, maxfiles_lim, and nflocks should be adjusted using SAM, with recommended values of 1024 and 200 for releases 2.1 and 3.0.
