Step 1. Increase global limits

Ensure /etc/security/limits.conf has sufficients limits for number of opened files for a process. An example configuration is

root soft nofile 65535
root hard nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535
* soft nofile 65535
* hard nproc 65535
* soft nofile 65535

Step 2. Increase per-process limits for

Supervisord based service
- in supervisor config file (e.g. /etc/contrail/supervisord_config.conf) in the supervisord section set minfds and minprocs. for e.g.
```
...
[supervisord]
minfds=10240
minprocs=200
...
```
Upstart based service
- in upstart config file (e.g. in /etc/init/zookeeper.conf) set number of files with nofile for e.g.
```
limit nofile 8192 8192
```

Step 3. Restart service

service <name> restart
