When PresSTORE jobs are active, many files are opened at the same time due to parallel file operations. In general, a number of 10 open files per running backup or archive job is a reasonable value. When too many jobs are running at the same time, the number of open files may reach the limit foreseen by the operating system. In this case, the log file (/usr/local/aw/log/lexxsrv.log) shows error messages Too many open files. The number of open files is often limited to approximately 255 files on Solaris and Linux..
