ALM-12053 File Handle Usage Exceeds the Threshold

Description

The system checks the handler usage every 30 seconds. This alarm is generated when the handle usage exceeds the threshold (the default threshold is 80%) for multiple times (the default value is 5).

You can change the threshold by choosing System > Threshold Configuration > Device > Host > Host Status > Host File Handle Usage > Host File Handle Usage.

If the hit number is 1, this alarm is cleared when the file handle usage is less than or equal to the threshold. If the hit number is greater than 1, this alarm is cleared when the file handle usage is less than or equal to 90% of the threshold.

3. Use PuTTY to log in to the host for which the alarm is generated as user root.
4. Run the ulimit -n command to check the maximum number of handles set in the system.
5. If the file handle usage exceeds the threshold, contact the system administrator to increase the number of system file handles.
6. Wait 5 minutes and check whether the alarm is cleared.
   • If yes, no further action is required.
   • If no, go to 7.

Check whether the system environment is normal.
