+
+You could encounter this error when running with many entities.
+
+Please **increase the ulimit** if you see such error:
+
+On the VM running Apache Brooklyn, we recommend ensuring nproc and nofile
are reasonably high (e.g. higher than 1024, which is often the default).
+
+Run `ulimit -a` to see the current limits.
+
+To increase the limits, run `sudo vi /etc/security/limits.conf` and add
(if it is "brooklyn" user running Apache Brooklyn):
+
+ brooklyn soft nproc 16384
+ brooklyn hard nproc 16384
+ brooklyn soft nofile 16384
+ brooklyn hard nofile 16384
+
+Then apply these changes by running `sudo sysctl -p`.
+
+Finally quit the ssh session, and log back in.
