weblogic down : Too many open files

 

Sometimes we get below error message:

 

<Failed to communicate with proxy: webproxy.ssmb.com/8080. Will try connection xxx/8001 now.

weblogic.socket.SocketOptionException: Too many open files

        at weblogic.socket.SocketMuxer.initSocket(SocketMuxer.java:415)

 

 

Probably it caused by the file number in xxx server is too low?

Never heard this issue on xxx server .

 

I have attached error message, please take a look.

Yes that server  has a known problem with file descriptors, please use ulimit -n to set a higher count.

Can you look at the xxx server logs in xxx server and see when the servers were coming down and is it because someone is running shutdown scripts?
