Hi, i was reading an alert_SID.log and i found this msg
WARNING:Oracle instance running on a system with low open file descriptor
limit. Tune your system to increase this limit to avoid
severe performance degradation.
when i search in spfile the db_files
i found that is
and if i count all the datafiles there are 600 datafiles
at last i do
$ ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 8192
coredump(blocks) unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 2048
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited
Does anyone have an idea about where i must search ?
thank you in advance

You can ignore this message if you are sure to never exceed this limit.

You can safely increase the nofiles descriptor to 8192. I used to get this error when my datafiles were app. 690. Oracle consulting recommended to raise to 8x of no. of datafiles (use close no. of multiplier of 2) for Oracle Apps. DB.
