During the field work, the large file (greater than 8G) can not be encountered under the Solaris system, especially when doing database cooling backups of data files, resulting in database backups can't succeed.
The first: For example, back up the data files greater than 8G to the tape, you need to modify TAR CVF / DEV / RMT / 0 to TAR CVFE / DEV / RMT / 0, add a uppercase letter E to support greater than 8G files TAR operation.
The second: Download the TAR-1.13.19-Sol8-Sparc-local.gz toolkit on http://www.sunfreeware.com, install it with a PKGADD after completion of the compression. Since this TAR executable is placed under / usr / local / bin, you have to modify the .profile file. Put the / usr / local / bin at the forefront of the PATH environment variable, let the system call the tar command first call the executable of / usr / local / bin.
