Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Production Database Open Fails after Mount
Possibly yes
It would depend on how many datafiles in the "small" db compared to the
production db, I am guessing that the nfile and maxfile values you have
are too low for a production server.

Kirthi
NOTE Point 3) (Bottom) We were able to OPEN a Small Dummy Database on the Failing Production Server .
If the system wide limit for the number of simultaneously open files is
exceeded
Would the Dummy Database OOEN Either ?
NOTE nfile = 200
max_files = 200
Approx 75 User processes All inclusive would exist on the machine
Thanks for responding

Vivek,
You are right, this is an OS related issue, but a DBA must be aware of why
it happens ;)
Error 23 means 'File Table Overflow' and it is generated when the system
wide limit for the number of simultaneously open files is exceeded. It is
controlled by a kernel parameter 'nfile'. which defaults to a value
arrived
at by a formula that uses 'maxusers' (and a couple of other) kernel
parameters. You can check the values set for 'maxusers' and 'nfile' on
these
servers, and get your SA to increase those on the server where you had a
problem starting the database.
Use '/usr/sbin/kmtune -q <parameter>' command to check currently set value for 'nfile' and 'maxusers'.
Read more about 'nfile' at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/KCparam.Nfile.html.
HTH,

Solved
Database OPENed Successfully on another HP-UX Box Without any ORA-1092 The Same Oracle & OS Versions Existed on Both HP-UX Boxes .
NOTE Though ORA-1092 was often succeeded by the message :-
"Error Num 23"
NO Idea what Error Num 23 Stands for ?
Thus This seems to be Some OS /Hardware Issue with the Previous Production
Database
on which the Database would NOT Open after OS RE_Installation .
For Problem Details Go Below .
For Complete Details Either E-mail me Or See Tar Nums - 2263888.995 ,

Thanks to All & List

Vivek:
I guess SMON runs the command to get the details for regular cleanup. You can use few undocumented events to get the things done depending on the seriousness of the database. These events just asks the SMON to skip few things during recovery and pretty harmless.
