Configuring file descriptor resources for IBM WebSphere Application Server (Linux)
On Linux®, the default setting for the maximum number of file descriptors allowed is not sufficient to run WebSphere® Application Server. You must configure the file descriptor resources for WebSphere Application Server to run correctly.
About this task
If your installation includes a stand-alone instance of WebSphere Application Server, configure the file descriptor resources on the computer on which WebSphere Application Server is installed. For cluster environments, you must configure the file descriptor resources on each computer where WebSphere Application Server is installed (Deployment Manager and managed nodes). The resources can be permanently configured if appropriate for your environment.
