How do I update the the "ulimit nofiles (descriptors)" to 65536?
Currently, we have the ulimit setting below :

# ulimit -Ha
time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         unlimited
stack(kbytes)        unlimited
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 8096
vmemory(kbytes)      unlimited


In our /etc/system, we have the new values in place :


:
*set rlim_fd_max = 8096
set rlim_fd_max = 65536
set rlim_fd_cur = 1024
:


Why the value of "nofiles(descriptos)" is still showing 8096 and not
65536 even after the server reboot ?  Please shed some light on this.


Thanks, 


Bill

You need to change the hard limit in the /etc/system followed by a reboot 
and also the softlimit in the parent shell.
