I usually start seeing these errors about 5 minutes into the test. I
will attempt to increase the max file descriptors to the ulimit of the
server, which is 65535
Thanks

Does this happen immediately, or does the script run for a while first?
When you start seeing this message, what shows up in the server's access
and error logs?

If you're running on machines dedicated to the directory service, you
can increase this quite a bit... in fact, this is probably the limit
you're hitting.
