Another round of search on SunSolve found the answer in a Sun

Technical Bulletin title 'Sun Performance Tuning Overview',

doc # 1130, pages 48 & 49. Here's how to bump up the maximum

number of open file descriptors per process from 64 to 128:

# adb -k -w /kernel/unix /dev/mem

physmem 5e13

rlimits,e?X

rlimits:

rlimits: 7fffffff 7fffffff 7fffffff 7fffffff

                7ffff000 7ffff000 800000 7ffff000

                7fffffff 7fffffff 40 400

                7fffffff 7fffffff

rlimits+28?W80

rlimits+0x28: 0x40 = 0x80

rlimits+28/W80

rlimits+0x28: 0x40 = 0x80

This is supposed to patch the running kernel too but I tested it

after the change and it didn't work. I'll wait for the next

reboot to see if it'll take effect then.
