All ports in use - AIX5.3

at least two times my system crashes. Post "all ports in use" imagine being related Telnet connections. The software uses port 33086 (specify for the software - it is the MSM-Mumphs).
Someone tell me how can I increase the number of connections to 1000 on AIX 5.3. Today is set 500. After increasing need to reboot. Thank you. Vladimir - Brazil.

AIX 5.3 - "all ports in use"

How to solve problem in aix 5.3 related to "all ports in use". This message can be specifically related to what settings to be made. The system just hangs, and displays this message. Thank you.

It seems that this application is using a lot of ports. I don't understand what you wrote 1st about "telnet".
Found this thread about a similar problem:
socket: All ports in use
They talk about of no further available ephemeral ports, which are for temporary connections. The network options command no can limit the range of them. Check the man page for no about tcp_ephemeral_high and tcp_ephemeral_low. Maybe it the application is not working correct and opening/using too many ports for communication.
There could also be a hint in the documentation about this software what OS parameters they'd like to have when running their app.

AIX 5.3, all ports in use

you are correct. it is socket. I think my application using eta many connections or there is an insufficient number of connections. Users connect to the system through a port "X", and after a period of time the system hangs with the message "all ports in use". It is not related to the number of users logged, because it happens even with a number of connections less than the previous day. Is the UNIX process is not stuck with? For several processes appears "defunct", and I can not give "kill". How to eliminate these defunct processes? Thanks - Vladimir / Brazil.

<defunct> processes are zombies. You can only get rid of them with a reboot of your system. It seems that your applications has some problems so checking out the application logs could give more hints about what is happening. Maybe this application also has several levels of debugging so you could check out if there is any way to get more verbose log output if the current is not sufficient.

AIX 5.3 - "All Ports in Use"

service the application uses the terminal to connect each user (around 600 users). at one point trying to open a new connection appears "log all ports are in use (in the user entry point)." If I can "kill" one of these connections I can log into the site of this connection. Who is Online continues to work, but does not allow new connections. I will try to collect a log, which may take a while. OK. Thanks.
