All,

Yesterday we increased db_files from 200 to 500 and recieved following message in alert log.

Oracle instance running on a system with low open file descriptor limit. Tune your system to increase this limit to avoid severe performance degradation.

Our file descriptors is set to 1024. Reducing db_files to 400 did not give this message. Interesting thing is that we increased file descriptors very recently from 64 to 1024. Does anyone have more information on this?

Thanks
Shaleen
