64k is fine - its very unlikely that oracle will have this many files open at the same time anyways (which is what this tunable determines) as the Database itself is in just a number of large .dbf files. In addition they will have some text files and libraries open - but I doubt the user oracle even owns 64.000 files Smilie

NAME
ncdnode - maximum number of open CDFS files (system-wide) VALUES
Failsafe Default Allowed values The minimum value allowed is The maximum value allowed is memory limited. Specify a positive integer value. DESCRIPTION
defines the number of slots in the inode table for in the CD-ROM file systems (CDFS). This number limits the number of open nodes that can be in memory for CDFS file systems at any given time. It is functionally similar to but applies only to CD-ROM file systems. Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? This tunable may need to be modified on systems that run applications requiring access to CD-ROM file systems. Restrictions on Changing The kernel module, which provides the file system type specific support for CD-ROM file systems, is now a dynamically loadable kernel mod- ule (DLKM). Any changes to the value of the tunable will take effect after the kernel module is unloaded and re-loaded (see kcmodule(1M)), or after system reboot. When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised? The value may need to be raised when running applications which require large numbers of simultaneously open CDFS files. What are the Side Effects of Raising the Value? More system memory will be consumed for the CDFS nodes. A larger static inode table for CDFS will be created based on the value of upon kernel module load or system reboot When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered? The value can be lowered to limit the number of CDFS open files on the system and reduce memory consumption. What are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value? Less system memory will be consumed for the CDFS inodes upon kernel module load or system reboot. What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time? None. WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun- able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was factory installed on your system, see at AUTHOR
