I had installed HPUX 11.23 on RP 3410 Server with latest pacth bundels as on date.
THe server is loaded with Ignite UX 6.9.141.
When i run make_sys_image it returs with error message file size too large , exit stauts 1.
What may be the issue.
Server loaded with jun07 patch bundles.

Re: Ignite UX File Size too large
Another possible reason is the gzip version. By default HP-UX has a 1.3.5 version of gzip running which is not able to work with files larger than 2.2GB.
So update gzip to the latest 1.3.12
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.3.12/
enable largefiles and ignite will be lucky

Re: Ignite UX File Size too large
Looks like you need to enable largefiles
For changing the largefiles bit on a JFS filesystem:
To convert an Advanced JFS filesystem:
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /(mountpoint)
To convert a base JFS filesystem (filesystem MUST be unmounted):
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg0#/rlvol#
To mount the new largefiles capable file system :
mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg#/lvol# /(mountpoint)
To set the correct /etc/fstab syntax :
/dev/vg0#/lvol# /ignite_depot vxfs delaylog,largefiles 0 2

Re: Ignite UX File Size too large
File size problems come from files between 2-8 GB. None of those patch bundles qualifies for tiggering this error.
There is a tar, and a pax patch that will permit files up to 8 GB. That would solve the issue, but make sure pax_iux can unpack files this big.
Another solution is to move large files out of vg00. You don't need to back them up anyway to restore the OS, which is what Ignite is for.
If you have created your own massive patch depots, move them out of vg00. You are merely extending your backup/restore time for files you can easily store on NFS or rebuild from HP's website.
What are the command line options being used for make_sys_image ??

Re: Ignite UX File Size too large
Thanks to everybody.
Converted the filesystem to largefiles using fsadm and mounted using largfiles option.
Created the image without any errors.
Thanks Ganesh
