Local Fix:
Once you are in this state a restore will be required.  As a 
future preventative measure, If the error is related to an OS 
tunable (maximum open files in this case), you can either 
increase the OS limit and / or decrease usage by DB2 where 
possible (MAXFILOP in DB2) to reduce the chance of a repeat 
occurance.
