Increasing number of allocated file handles

[Koray Sonmez]

Hello,

This solution for if your system is redhat x86.
For Oracle application Server release 10.1.0.2 the kernel parameter settings can be changed explained in the following section;

Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add or edit lines similar to the following: 

Note:
Include lines only for the kernel parameter values that you want to change. For the semaphore parameters (kernel.sem), you must specify all four values. However, if any of the current values are larger than the recommended value, specify the larger value.  

kernel.shmall = 2097152

kernel.shmmax = 2147483648

kernel.shmmni = 4096

# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni

kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142

fs.file-max = 131072

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000

kernel.msgmni = 2878 

kernel.msgmax = 8192 

kernel.msgmnb = 65535


By specifying the values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file, they persist when you restart the system.

Subject: Increasing number of allocated file handles

Hi Everyone,

On our Oracle Application server, we have noticed that we are running out of file handles. Once the number of used file
handles reaches 0, the application crashes/reset itself.
I have increased the number of file handles from 65536 to 104854, but I am still seeing the problem. Should the number
of allocated file handles be increase also, if so, where is the file to modify it.

(*note: the second column will hit 0 everyday at ~9:00 when everyone is logging into the system.)
------
[root at server fs]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 
39937   7405    104854
[root at server fs]# 
-------


Any thoughts/suggestions,

Thanks.
