Hi Don Cragun,

Yeah, read your post, sorry for not enough details. Here are some details.
1. Source file size is 10mb. Actually there are many files with the size greater than 10GB. But I chose 10mb sized one file as test.
2. I'm using cp and scp both.
scp -C source_file oracle@remote_host:/path/to/dir
cp source_file /path/to/destination
3. I used du -sh command to see file size. ls -l command shows the size same as source file. But du -sh command shows different size. I think that ls -l command is showing only file size info in the header and du -sh command is showing size on the disk.
4. Yes, source and destination filesystem are same. I'm using Solaris ZFS filesystem
5. Yes, command completed without error.
6. du -sh and ls -ltr results are different. Please see 3th answer.
7. Already checked if there's any log. But I didn't see any log.
8. Solaris 10 runs on both source and dest server.
9. If I copy files from source server to local disk of the remote server it copies file without issue. All file sizes are correct.
If I copy file from source server to sunstorage disk of the remote server, copied file size is decreased. That means this issue is related to SunStorage.

I'm checking storage and will share the result here.

installit

INSTALLIT(1)						      General Commands Manual						      INSTALLIT(1)

NAME

       installit - file/directory installation tool

SYNOPSIS

       installit [ -o owner ] [ -g group ] [ -O owner ] [ -G group ] [ -m mode ] [ -b backup ] [ -s ] [ -t ] source destination

DESCRIPTION

       Installit puts a copy of source into the specified destination.

       If  source is a period, then destination is taken to be the name of a directory that should be created.	Otherwise, source is taken to name
       an existing file and destination may be either a file or directory; it is interpreted according to the same rules as cp(1).

       Installit uses no special privileges to copy files from one place to another.

OPTIONS

       -b     If destination names a pre-existing file, it will be removed before the copy is done.  To make a backup copy, use the  ``-b''  flag;
	      the  existing  file  will  be renamed to have the specified extension.  If source and destination are the same string, or if the two
	      files are identical, then no copying is done, and only the ``-o'', ``-g'', ``-m'', and ``-s'' flags (see below) are  processed.	In
	      this case, the modification time on the destination will be updated using touch(1).

       -n     Do not update the modification time on the destination.

       -o -g -m
	      Once  the destination has been created, it is possible to set the owner, group, and mode that it should have.  This is done by using
	      the ``-o'', ``-g'', and ``-m'' flags, respectively.

       -O -G  The ``-O'' and ``-G'' flags set the owner and group only if installit is being run by root, as determined by whoami(1).

       -s     To strip(1) an installed executable, use the ``-s'' flag.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       Flags cannot be combined.

       The chown(8) command must exist in either the /etc or /usr/etc directory or the user's PATH.

       The whoami command must exist in the /usr/ucb directory or the user's PATH.
