System: OSX Mavericks 10.9. Server, VM Ware Fusion 6.0.2. (fresh reinstall of VMWARE Fusion on Mavericks, Mountain Lion was upgraded to Mavericks)
Virtual Machines on a Software Raid, tryd it on system disk, same error. repaired system disk permissions, created /config file, nothing helped!
Reinstalled VMWARE Fusion 6.0.2 today, i cleaned up all contents from disk before reinstalling.
I cannot start any of the VMs that ran perfectly under 10.8.5. Every VM shows up with the same error message: "Internal error, Only 4096 open files are allowed. Please raise the open file limit to at least 8192, using the command "limit "
