Patch level detected:Univiewer Management Server 6.2.00
The UVMS on Linux stops after doing a specific action or can't be started at all.
For example, during package creation.
The user starting the UVMS is not root.

Environment

OS: Linux

Cause

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: UVMS stops itself when the user starting it has a "ulimit -n" inferior to 8000

Resolution

The most recent version of UVMS 6.x increased the default value of the variable UXMAXFD from 256 to 8000.
As a result, on Linux where the user launching UVMS has not enough maximum file-descriptors, the UVMS stops when reaching the limit.

In order to fix the issue there are two options:

1. Reduce the value of the variable UXMAXFD within the values.xml via the command unisetvar
We recommend a value of at least 2048.
Check with ulimit -n / ulimit -Hn that the value set is within this marge.

2. Increase the hard / soft limits for the user launching UVMS / any other user different of root /etc/security/limits.conf

You can append the following two lines, in order to increase both soft / hard limits for any user to 4096 / 8192
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 8192

Automic recommends option 2.

Fix Status: No Fix
