Check the userelimit with following : ulimit -a Hi Seema, for >2GB files, check out ulimit -d and ulimit -dH (values in OS blocks of 512kb) and if necessary upate /etc/security/limits (fsize, fsize_hard) for oracle user (or use smit).

ORA-16038: log 3 sequence# 723 cannot be archived ORA-19502: write error on file "", blockno (blocksize=) ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: '/u02/oradata/DSS/redo3a.log' ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: '/u04/oradata/DSS/redo3b.log' ARCH: Connecting to console port... ARCH: or ORA-00476: RECO process terminated with error PMON: terminating instance due to error 476 Instance terminated by PMON, pid = 133128 or ARC1: Error 19504 creating archivelog file '/u06/oracle/b These all errors are coming since we created maxsize 2048m of datafiles in autoextend mode. AIX version is 4.I'm assuming AIX 4 doesn't handle 2GB files.Metalink say it's due to file size.Doesn any one have such situation in past? If yes how did fixed pl? ANy suggestions are welcome. thx -seema _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page - FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.
