Steps to Reproduce
Not Applicable
Root Cause
A defect or configuration issue in the operating environment.
The File Descriptor limit was set to 1024, so whenever the application was getting initialized, it was running out of File descriptors and the initialization was getting failed due to which instance was inaccessible.
Resolution
Increase the File descriptor limit to 100,000.
