This is more of a linux thing and not a SA thing, but its related. Fortunately Linux has gradually upped its file descriptor limits in the kernel over the years. I remember being limited to 256 per process, and that sucked. That was 2.0.x I believe. Anyway, take a look at /proc/sys/fs/file-max you can cat it and it will tell you the current system limit and you can echo a new value into it at any time. Being that most startup scripts on Linux are bash scripts throw a 'ulimit -a' command in the script and exit to see what it prints. If its too low, you can change the open files with the 'ulimit -n' to up the number of open files. That should do it.
