Every persistent object (such as a printer, spooler, or supervisor which stays in permanent storage when the process exits) requires two file descriptors. Also, each job in the spooler requires two file descriptors.

The total number of open files allowed by your system is determined by the nfile kernel configuration parameter. Your HP-UX kernel may have been configured to a relatively low value. If you have many processes or if you want to create many persistent objects and submit many jobs, you may need to increase the nfile limit. To do this:

  • Invoke sam.

  • Select Kernel Configuration.

  • Select Configuration Parameters.

  • Choose nfile.

  • Pull down the Action menu and select Modify Configurable Parameter.

  • In the Formula/Value box, enter a new nfile number and press OK.
