Update nofiles(descriptors) in ulimit from 8096 to 65536

[underh20.s...@gmail.com]

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

One place to check , could be your /etc/profile -- Might be
restricting the ulimit on your shell?.
