Configure AIX for Large Files

For each machine running IBM AIX, configure AIX to allow large file sizes and set the memory requirements to their hard limits.

Modify the following lines in the /etc/security/limits file as follows:

fsize = -1 (indicates unlimited file size)

rss = -1 (indicates unlimited memory)

data = -1 (indicates unlimited data segment)

The changes take effect upon your next log in. Users logged in at the time of the change must log out and back in again for the change to take effect.
