Hi,

You need to enable large file support. If you have OnlineJFS installed, you can do it by

# fsadm -o largefiles /mount_point

If you don't have OnineJFS,

# fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgXX/rlvolY

Hi Arun,

How do I know if OnlineJFS is installed?
I'm not a sysadmin, so I have to give my system support team as much info as possible ;-)

Hi,

You can find out by, # swlist -l product |grep -i jfs

Hi Guus,

Type the following:
swlist -l fileset|grep -i jfs
swlist -l fileset|grep -i vxfs

Check version
fstyp -v /dev/vg00/lvol5

Check if Filesystem has largefiles enabled:
Example
fsadm -F vxfs /dev/vg02/lvol1
If largefiles isn't enabled, enable it with the following command.
fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/lvol1

GoodLuck
