Since I only received two replies, I'll include them here instead of
summarizing.

The default and maximum for 4.0B is 4096 (with 4.0D the maximum goes to
64K), so probably nothing to change there. Use "dxkerneltuner" or
"sysconfigdb" to change parameters(see the /etc/sysconfigtab).
Read the
http://www.digital.com/internet/document/ias/tuning.html for
patches and parameters tuning suggestions. The Netscape's Enterprise
server is mentioned there.

Total no. of file can be open on a system is users x OPEN_MAX
But really do not change above attribute change instead set the value in
sysconfigtab as
proc:
maxusers=1024 ....
max-proc-per-user=1024
max-threads-per-user=1024
If you want all the files at time by process should be memory mapped i.e
you have good enough memory
vm:
vm-mapentries = 1024 or more
this will ensure that upto 1024 files opened by give process can be mapped
at a time in memory.
