Create the large file system. For example:fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/rexport3. Remount the file system. For example:/usr/sbin/mount -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg01/exportFor additional information and recommendations about setting these parameters,consult your operating-system documentation.PHNE_26771: Cumulative ARPA Transport patchThe following patches are dependencies of patch PHNE_26771:PHKL_21857 and PHNE_22566.
