[SunHELP] Too many files open ?

[Michael Karl]

Hey Balaji and Nicholas,

no way to login ... no ping ... no panic ... no stop+a ...
-> power off ... wait ... power on ... U2 is coming up.
Only booting-messages after the two lines ... see below.

(Solaris 8 with Recommended PatchCluster September 2001)
(ufs-logging is activ, so the maschine start very fast :-)

I must set a parameter in the /etc/system higher,
but I don't know which ... maxusers, max_nprocs or maxuprc !?!

My problem is, that I can't test it, because the customer is
working on this machine 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.

I don't find any hints on docs.sun.com or sunsolve.sun.com.

Thank you

Michael
