Joe,

Yes, that is whee we see it.  I heard from an admin working for another
company that if they see their
web server start to get many (i.e. 12,000 or so) they schedule a theraputic
reboot.

I assume these handles are I/O or socket handles that are used to open an
close and control the data structures needed for the opening and closing of
I/O or socket communcations, but that is just a guess.

This just makes me think that they consume memory and if they are not
needed, then we might be concerned as an effective memory leak.

... Jack

Is this "Handles" in task manager?

Our goes over a 1,000,000. When I discovered it I was kind of afraid; when I
shut down server service it goes back to something "normal" ( I think
~50,000). I did research on Microsoft knowledgebase and TSM support site-
found nothing and gave up.

Anyway if you find more about this I would like to know also.
I know I didn't help, but sharing info is always good.

One of our NT guys pointed out that the TSM database service on the TSM
server has over 250,000 file handles.
I have seen it peek at over 300,000 file handles.

Is this normal?
