Increasing File Size on AIX

Hi
I am a bit green to AIX - but when our backup operator tries to do a restore from one AIX box to another, he get's the error:
'A file cannot be larger than the value set by ulimit'

I am wondering what is the impact of increasing the AIX filesize limit of 2 gb to unlimited. And how would I go about doing this?

Thanks
Rosie
