Hi all,

While I run the cluster installation pre check command as below,

./cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n "pmwdbdwh01,pmwdbdwh02" -verbose

I get the following message ,

Check: Hard resource limit for "open file descriptors"
Node Name Available Required Comment
------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ----------
pmwdbdwh02 63536 65536 failed
pmwdbdwh01 63536 65536 failed
Result: Hard resource limit check failed for "open file descriptors".


Can someone please help me out to clear this failure.

Thanks in advance,
Arun

You can ignore this, it will not cause the installation to fail. It will show up again when you run OUI, but don't worry. Of course if you do need that many open files, you will need to fix it eventually: it is referring to your fs_file-max kernel parameter.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply. I checked sysctl.conf file and couldnt find the parameter that you mentioned.

So If I add fs_file-max parameter to sysctl.conf file will it be fine?

Thanks,
Arun.

Sure. Though I see I made a typo, it is actually fs.file-max which will be why you couldn't find it.
Remember that you may need to adjust your ulimit to get rid of any limits and add a couple of entries to your /etc/security/limits.conf file too, this should do:

* hard nofile 65536
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
