Open Stack

Prashant,

If this is for systemd, how about changing the nova-api unit file?

Something like

—>
[Service]
...
LimitNOFILE=65536
<—

should do it.

Cheers,
 Arne

Team,

I have scale setup and metadata requests are seems to fail from instance. Main reason for failure is "Max open files" limit(1024) set on nova-api service.
Though on controller we have set max open file limit of 65k(limit.conf), nova-api always comes up with 1024 limit causing failure.

Could someone let me know how can we change the max open files limit of nova-api service?

Setup Details:

·         Single controller
·         500 KVM computes
·         Devstack branch: stable/newton
·         We have native metadata and dhcp running on platform
·         3750 instances
