You are taking this too literally. They mean to use sam to make a change. In this context, "sam files" means any file that sam can help you change.
More accurately, you need to build a new kernel. It doesn't matter whether you use sam or do it from the command line as long as you do it right. But it's much easier via sam.
"too many open files" can mean several things. I can't tell if you bumped into the per-process limit or the overall system lim{t. But you probably need to increase either nfile or maxfiles_lim.
