I Wonder if anyone else has sought an answer from Lotus or Sun on this issue…
“Warning file descriptor is too low 1024”
On a test box I’m running Domino 6.5.3FP1 on Solaris 9 which is posting the above warning on the console at server startup.
I’m aware of the /etc/system parameter
set rlim_fd_max=65536
to increase the file descriptor limit. HOWEVER, in the Sun Microsystems document “Domino on Solaris Common Tuning Tips” (found here : Hardware | Oracle global/lotus/technical/New_Tuning_Tips.pdf ) it explicitly states that this parameter is not required on Solaris 9…see below.
So, is this simply a bit of legacy code in the Domino server that checks the file descriptor limit and posts the warning even though it is no longer relevant and can be ignored with Solaris 9? Or should I change it against the advice in the Sun document?
Thanks in advance.
Quoting Sun Microsystems document “Domino on Solaris Common Tuning Tips”
File descriptor limits
If you are using Solaris 8, append the following line to the file /etc/system to increase the number of file descriptors for the Domino server:
set rlim_fd_max=65536
After making this, or any change in the /etc/system file, reboot Solaris to have the new settings take effect. In addition, if you upgrade to a new version of Solaris, any line added to /etc/system should be removed and added again only after verifying that it still is valid. This adjustment is not required for systems running Solaris 9."
