From anywhere you like.

This is the expected output. You should leave the script running for the inode renumbering hack to persist.
As Bartus11 already stated, just use another terminal to experiment with you program expecting a large inode number.
Thank you for the clarification!

It looks like when I run
Code:
ls -li

it shows the real inode, but
Code:
ls -li <filename>

is showing the fake (large) inode:
Code:
[root@sol10: /data/xx]# ls -li
total 770488
  52000532 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 24 10:52 asdf
  68687063 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 25 17:18 passwd2

[root@sol10: /data/xx]# ls -li /data/xx/passwd2
100000000000 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root           0 Mar 25 17:18 /data/xx/passwd2

NAME
clri - clear inode SYNOPSIS
special i-number ... DESCRIPTION
The command clears the inode i-number by filling it with zeros. special must be a special file name referring to a device containing a file system. For proper results, special should not be mounted (see WARNINGS below). After is executed, all blocks in the affected file show up as "missing" in an of special (see fsck(1M)). This command should only be used in emergencies. Read and write permission is required on the specified special device. The inode becomes allocatable. WARNINGS
The primary purpose of this command is to remove a file that for some reason does not appear in any directory. If it is used to clear an inode that does appear in a directory, care should be taken to locate the entry and remove it. Otherwise, when the inode is reallocated to some new file, the old entry in the directory will still point to that file. At that point, removing the old entry destroys the new file, causing the new entry to point to an unallocated inode, so the whole cycle is likely to be repeated again. If the file system is mounted, is likely to be ineffective. DEPENDENCIES
operates only on file systems of type SEE ALSO
fsck(1M), fsdb(1M), ncheck(1M). STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
