Configuring the user process limits for the Linux installation

Increase the user process limits for the user account to a maximum of 65534. This modification enables services to open 65534 files and 65534 processes when needed.

Prerequisites

• Make sure you have a login with root privileges.
• The M&R installed on a server running on supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions.
• The name specified for the user account during the installation.

Procedure

1. Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file.
2. Add the following lines for the user.
   In this example, the user is apg.

   apg   hard  nofile  65534
   apg   soft  nofile  65534
   apg   hard  nproc   65534
   apg   soft  nproc   65534
   

3. Save the file.
4. Type the following commands from the bin directory of the installation to restart the services:

   ./manage-modules.sh service stop all
   ./manage-modules.sh service start all

   After restarting, check the status of services, enter: ./manage-modules.sh service status all
5. Type the following command to verify the changes:

   su apg -c 'ulimit -n -u'
