Dear Managers,

The need has arisen recently to raise the no. of file descriptors on our
4.0D box from the default 4096. I attempted to do this by creating a stanza
formatted file containing:

proc:
        open-max-soft=8192
        open-max-hard=8192

I then merged this into my sysconfigtab file using sysconfigdb.

After rebooting the machine, I noticed these values weren't changed. When
attempting to raise them using dxkerneltuner, I received a message stating
the values were invalid. The max. is supposed to be 65k correct?

Do I need to edit param.h etc.. ?

Any help on where I am going would be appreciated.

Will summarise.
