Change no_files in Solaris

Referen: http://serverfault.com/questions/21417/how-to-set-ulimits-in-solaris-10


To make it a system-wide change, edit /etc/system with following entries
# Hard limit on file descriptors for single process
set rlim_fd_max = 4096

# Soft limit on the file descriptors for a single process
set rlim_fd_cur = 1024

NOTE: without setting rlim_fd_max as shown above, the default value for file descriptors or nofiles is half of the rlim_fd_cur value. So, it's best to set them both.
If you are using a Solaris project for an application space like Oracle Database, you can set the max file descriptors in the project by:

projmod -s -K "process.max-file-descriptor=(privileged,1024,deny)" user.root
