Thanks a lot for everyone's suggestions.
Finally setting rlim_fd_max to 8192 helped! (On Solaris)

download and Install daemontools-0.70

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

This comes with a progarm softlimit which runs another program with
resource
limits

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/softlimit.html

and then run slapd with the following command , it will work

/usr/local/bin/softlimit -o 8192 /usr/local/libexec/slapd

Good luck
Susanth

Also I need to figure of out what is the current set value of max file
descriptors on solaris 8. Anyone one how to find that?

Also how to estimate the right value?
Is there any trade-offs to consider? Would increasing affect anything else?

Thanks

This is a filesystem limitation check the file
/proc/sys/fs/file-max
and increase the size to
16384 also are what os are you running because my suggestion only works
under linux
