Verifying Host Names
1) Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
<ip_address> <node_name>.<domain_name> <node_name>
2) Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=<node_name>.<domain_name>
3) If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
4) If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.
Modifying the Number of Open File Descriptors
Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for "hard" and "soft" parameters as follows. Restart the system after making changes (If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in this document, then do not change the value of that parameter):
* hard nofile 65535
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
