Hello,
 I added the following two lines in the tsm startup script. the -n 8192 in
the startup script will start the process using the higher count number.

more /etc/init.d/tsminst1

start() {
# make sure that the server CAN create a core dump in the event of an error
# NAM - 16082014 - Added Ulimit 8192 for open files and -c unlimited for
core dump
        ulimit -c unlimited
        ulimit -n 8192

        echo -n "Starting $prog instance $instance ... "
        #if we're already running, say so

Hope that helps,
-Nick
