I just checked the AIX books, the maximum file size up to AIX 4.3.3 is 64 Gb, you will have to use AIX 5 and jfs2 to go beyond this limit

if you didn't touch the /etc/security/limits file, you should. You just
have to edit it and change the fsize parameter to -1, in the default stanza
or just for the user who creates the file

yes we did enable this with the large file option. as far as the security,
I don't believe we touched that. below is our setting on that fs.
it's easier to manage 2 vs ?
thanks

Hello,
Did you modify the /etc/security/limits and did you create the fs with the
large file enabled option ? I suggest to create a fs with allocation group
size of 64 MB and 131072 bytes per i-node.
I don't know any other limitation for AIX to create big files, except the
limitation of something like 1 TB which is far from your 50 GB
Anyway, why don't you create smallers volumes ? It's not a real problem
with TSM

We have just added 288GB raid 5 disk space on an F50 running AIX 4.3.3
running TSM 4.1.1 we created 2 fs at 133 GB each, we have tried creating a
new tsm volume starting at 100gb up to 133gb and all have failed about half
way thru saying there isn't enough space.
any thoughts or are their any limitations as to the size we can go?
thanks
Paul
