What kind of filesystem is it? If it is VxFS (Veritas file system) you can set the largefiles flag in /etc/vfstab and reboot. If you want to increase it on the fly there is a command, I believe it is called fsadm, which can do that. Check your Veritas man pages for details, but I know you can do it.
If it is UFS I'm not sure if you can change it once the filesystem has been created.

FSADM(8) FSADM(8)
NAME
fsadm - utility to resize or check filesystem on a device
SYNOPSIS
fsadm [options] check device
fsadm [options] resize device [new_size[BKMGTEP]]
DESCRIPTION
fsadm utility checks or resizes the filesystem on a device. It tries to use the same API for ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS and XFS filesys-
tem.
OPTIONS
-e, --ext-offline
Unmount ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem before doing resize.
-f, --force
Bypass some sanity checks.
-h, --help
Display the help text.
-n, --dry-run
Print commands without running them.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose.
-y, --yes
Answer "yes" at any prompts.
new_size
Absolute number of filesystem blocks to be in the filesystem, or an absolute size using a suffix (in powers of 1024). If new_size
is not supplied, the whole device is used.
DIAGNOSTICS
On successful completion, the status code is 0. A status code of 2 indicates the operation was interrupted by the user. A status code of
3 indicates the requested check operation could not be performed because the filesystem is mounted and does not support an online fsck(8).
A status code of 1 is used for other failures.
EXAMPLES
Resize the filesystem on logical volume /dev/vg/test to 1000 megabytes. If /dev/vg/test contains ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem it will be
unmounted prior the resize. All [y|n] questions will be answered 'y'.
fsadm -e -y resize /dev/vg/test 1000M
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
TMPDIR The temporary directory name for mount points. Defaults to "/tmp".
DM_DEV_DIR
The device directory name. Defaults to "/dev" and must be an absolute path.
