Try this,

                      To increase the number of ptys (pseudo-terminal
devices) under
                      Solaris 2.3+, there are two different parameters
that can be
                      used in the /etc/system file.  The parameter
pt_cnt is used to
                      specify the number of System V ptys are
available.  The parameter
                      npty is used to specify the number of BSD ptys are
available.
                      Most Solaris utilities use System V ptys.

                      set pt_cnt=<number of System V ptys desired>
                      set npty=<number of BSD ptys desired>

                      Then do a reconfiguration reboot for the changes
to take effect (e.g. boot -r
                      at the boot "OK" prompt).

                      For example to modify the system to allow 128
System V ptys and
                      64 BSD ptys:

                      set pt_cnt=128
                      set npty=64
