When running SkyVault on Red Hat Linux, if you
encounter a "Too many open files" error message, you must increase the file
limits setting.
These steps assumes that SkyVault is running as the SkyVault
user.
-
Edit the following file:
/etc/security/limits.conf
-
Add the following settings:
SkyVault soft nofile 4096 SkyVault hard nofile 65536
This sets the normal number of file handles available to the SkyVault user to be 4096. This is known as the soft limit.
-
As the SkyVault user, set a system-level
setting for Linux, up to the hard limit, using the following
command:
ulimit -n 8192
