urgent: online backup failed with SQL0958C

Hi,

I'm using db2 EXP-C 9.5 64 bit on linux, when running online backup
got the following error "SQL0958C The maximum number of open files has been reached. SQLSTATE=57009"

the db parm MAXFILOP is set to 61440
the os max open file parm is 752380

most of the time the db is idle.

Thanks,
Ronen

Similar issue on AIX and 64 bit "DB2 v9.5.0.3", "s081210", "U823474", and Fix Pack "3a".

Can you please post more details on "nfs with file limit"? What was changed to fix the problem?

The following settings control how many files can be open:

maxfilop (DB2 - db cfg)
nofiles (AIX - ulimit -n)


Please take a look at the following URL for some additional info about maxfilop/nofiles:
