Can I copy 2GB+ file using cp ?

Yes. With a certain patch the limit can be raised to 8GB.

I believe cp can handle large files without a patch.

You probably should apply the latest cp cumulative patch anyway though.

PHCO_29680 - s700_800 11.00 cumulative cp(1) patch

To be on the sure side, you can download and install the GNU utilities for other utilities that will let you do functions with file greater than 2GB.

Some of these utilities are;
tar, cpio, gzip, etc...
