AIX and Value too large to be stored in data type.

Code:

root@test8:/config1>oslevel -s
5300-01-00-0000
root@test8:/config1>oslevel -r
5300-01

while moving a file sized 9GB i got this message

Code:

root@test8:/configapp>mv bkp_14JUN16_oraapp_2.tgz /oraapp
bkp_14JUN16_oraapp_2.tgz: Value too large to be stored in data type.

possibly need APAR Fix IY68126: MV COMMAND SHOWS EOVERFLOW ERROR FOR LARGE FILES

I tried to untar and unzip and nothing happens when I enter the command,
just exits to command prompt

Code:

root@test8:/>gunzip < /configapp/bkp_14JUN16_oraapp.tgz | /opt/freeware/bin/tar xvf -
root@test8:/>

checking ulimits

Code:

root@test8:/>cat /etc/security/limits
default:
        fsize = -1
        core = -1
        cpu = -1
        data = -1
        rss = -1
        stack = -1
        nofiles = -1
        fsize_hard = -1
        core_hard = -1
        cpu_hard = -1
        data_hard = -1
        stack_hard = -1
        rss_hard = -1
        nofiles_hard = -1


root:
        fsize = -1
        core = -1
        cpu = -1
        data = -1
        stack = -1
        rss = -1
        nofiles = -1
        fsize_hard = -1
        core_hard = -1
        cpu_hard = -1
        data_hard = -1
        stack_hard = -1
        rss_hard = -1
        nofiles_hard = -1

so i went to check tar

Code:

root@test8:/>/opt/freeware/bin/tar -version

nothing happened... seems like tar was not working,\

reinstalled tar and it failed

Code:

Command: failed        stdout: yes           stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.
