hello all,

i keep getting the error message everytime i want to create a mksysb
backup through nim:

Creating information file (/image.data) for rootvg.

Creating list of files to back up..
Backing up 88210 files................
0512-005 savevg: Backup Completed.
The backup command completed with errors.
The messages displayed on Standard Error contained additional
information.
backup: 0511-432 A write error occurred: A file cannot be larger than
the value set by ulimit.

Use a different disk to run the backup.

the mksysb image is getting larger than the user's ulimit for file size
allows. check with "ulimit -a".
change this permanently via "smit chuser", to -1 (unlimited). The new
ulimit will be active after a new login or su.
