SolutionThe "file to large" error refers to the fact the the LVM structures created during 'vgcreate' do not fit into one physical disk extent. You can increase the 'pe_size' and/or reduce the 'max_pe', 'max_pv', and 'max_lv' to gain a smaller geometry which will then fit one physical extent.
For the maximum supported file and filesystem sizes, see here:

Re: File Too Large
Basically all the disk information for the entire volume group must fit within one PE which is the header so to speak for the volume group. if the with a PE size of 8 I belive the largest I could make the number of physical extents was 146 (I believe) to get to the full 255 you'll need to increase you PE size to 16.

Re: File Too Large
vgcreate -e 36000 -s 128 /dev/vg## /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ
Note, 'PE_SIZE' must be a power of 2. (* 1,2,4,8,16, etc. *)

Re: File Too Large
You are also going to want to run "pvchange -t 180" for each /dev/dsk/c*t*d* device to change the timeout value. HP has a problem with false timeouts from the fibre, as the default is only 30 seconds.
