[Info-ingres] File descriptor soft limit for the NET Server

[Steve]

Ingres reported the following warning on startup:

WARNING!!! The recommended file descriptor soft limit for the NET Server to service 64 inbound, and 64 outbound connections is 261. The current file descriptor soft limit is set to 256.

syscheck:
Checking host "myhost" for system resources required to run
Ingres...

614 file descriptors per-process required.
256 is the current system soft limit.

Your system has sufficient resources to run
Ingres.

ulimit -a

ulimit -aH

stack(kbytes)        unlimited

nofiles(descriptors) 65536
vmemory(kbytes)      unlimited

Don't know why there is such a big difference between the soft and hard limits?

Trying to understand what might have changed to cause this warning.

Thanks
