You can have large files on your filer. The maximum size of a large file is determined by the smaller of the following two values:
However, if the maximum file size on your client is larger than the maximum file size on your server and you enter a command to display the volume size on your server, the file size is displayed incorrectly. In this case, the maximum file size appears as 2 GB, even though the file on the client is larger than 2 GB.
Caution: If you create a file that exceeds 64 GB, you cannot revert the filer to Data ONTAP 5.0.1 or earlier and access that file.
To use large files, ensure that your system meets the following requirements.
| For... | Make sure you that have... |
|---|---|
| Filer operating system | Data ONTAP 5.1 or later |
| NFS version 3 | enabled |
| UNIX host and clients | Solaris 2.6 or later |
| Windows NT host and clients | 4.0 or later |
To enable NFS version 3, use the options command to set the nfs.v3.enable option to On.
