Note first that the Kernel parameters that Informix recommends in the release notes are simply some minimum values for certain parameters that needed to be changed in order to QA test the product on that platform. The errno=24 is "Too many open files". You have to change the kernel PER-PROCESS number of permitted open files and may have to ajust the system-wide maximum number of open files. If memory serves, NCR's default is VERY low for both. Increase the per process open files to some number MUCH greater than the maximum number of chunks that you want (Online 7.xx support up to 1024 chunks) set the system wide number (if configurable, some newer kernels use a dynamic system table but still have a hard per-process limit) high enough so that every oninit process can have the maximum number of chunks open simultaneously plus more for clients other applications (remember that every process opens three files at startup).
