Hi,

has your filesystem largefiles enabled?

Check that by

fsadm -F vxfs /

Best regards,
Fabio

Check kernel paramters mentioned above and then hard limits set otherwise you will get error when you will try changing beyond limit

Hi,

'limit file is 2 G in HPUX 11i'
As Fabio said, you have to check if it's an ulimit problem or a non-largefile system problem.
Do you have problems to store more than 2 GB of files or to store one file with more than 2 GB?

Re: limit file is 2 G in HPUX 11I

Hi :

To enable 'largefiles' (those exceeding 2GB) for an existing filesystem, do:

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol1

To enable 'largefiles' when you create the filesystem:

newfs -F vxfx -o largefiles /dev/vg02/rlvol1

To see the current 'largefiles' setting, do:

# fsadm -F vxfs /dev/vg02/rlvol1

Regards!

Hi again,

you said:
data(kbytes) 262144
stack(kbytes) 8192

So your data is limited to 256 MB.
If you can create files till 2 GB than is THIS not your problem.
Your problem seems to be that your file system is not configured to store files larger than 2GB.
So check our answers and test it either with JRF's or Fabio's command or:

# fstyp -v /dev/vg00/lvol3 |grep -i f_flag

! For /dev/vg00/lvol3 you have to use the device where you want to store the files!

if f_flag: 0 then max 2 GB
if f_flag: 16 then max 8 GB

Can you give us the messages of these commands?

Hi again,

to increase ulimit check the usage of ulimit:
'man ulimit'

Do you have access to the 'Technical knowledge base'?:
http://www12.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c01005257-2

http://www12.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c01513482-1

http://www12.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en&docId=emr_na-c00905065-10

Also:
1. Log in as root.
2. Use ulimit() to check settings:
# ulimit -a
3. Reset ulimit() to its maximum value:
# ulimit -d 65536 oracle
4. Have the Oracle user log off and back on.
