Using Solaris 8 and later (NFS version 2) with Non-ClearCase Access

If you use non-ClearCase® access from an NFS version 2 server on a Solaris 8 host, you must add the following line to /etc/system on each Solaris 8 NFS version 2 server:
set nfs:nfs2_limit_inum=0

If this line has not been added, you see either File too big errors or NFS server not responding when accessing files in a VOB using non-ClearCase access.

On Solaris 9 and later, it is unnecessary to set nfs2_limit_inum in /etc/system. If the /etc/system file on a Solaris 9 system attempts to set this variable, a message is displayed at boot time indicating that the variable cannot be set. To eliminate the message, remove the nfs2_limit_inum entry.
