Workaround

This value can be set with the rlim_fd_max parameter in the /etc/system file, if not using zones or using the global zone.Using zones, there is no /etc/system in a zone, so you set process.max-file-descriptor in /etc/project instead.I edited /etc/project and changed this line..default:3::::..to this..default:3::::process.max-file-descriptor=(basic,65536,deny)..and now I can su to the other user and set the ulimit -n 65536.ags@zpospp01:# prctl -n process.max-file-descriptor $$process: 22424: -bashNAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENTprocess.max-file-descriptor basic 65.5K - deny 22424 system 2.15G max deny -
