The nofiles descriptors for the user that started shareplex are not high enough.

on sun to check
ulimit -nH this is the hard limit for the system
ulimit -nS this is the soft limit for the user

if the soft nofiles descriptors are 64-200. They can be raised up to the hard limit by adding the following line in the .profile for the user that starts shareplex.
ulimit -n 512
These changes will take effect after changing the .profile having the user logout and back in then bouncing shareplex. You will not be able to set the ulimit above the hard limit. If the system had a hard limit to low, you should contact your system admin to bump up this parameter, this will involve a system reboot.

add the following lines to the /etc/system file

set rlim_fd_cur = 400 <- this sets the current open file descriptors
set rlim_fd_max = 512 <- this sets the max open file descriptors.
