Larger than 2G raw partitions on 4.2 Dynix

[Quoted]  Hello All,  

[Quoted]  Platform : 4.2 Dynix on Sequent SE 80.  RDBMS : Oracle 7.3.2.3  

 Problem :  

[Quoted]  We are in the process of creating a 700G + database on the above setup.  The system contains raw devices of 1 G, 2 G, 3 G, 4 G, 5 G, 6 G, 8 G , 13  G and 15 g file sizes.  

 Please see the table below and the problem is self-evident.  

 Concatenated     File Size Creatable Size    Comment

 Both                  1 G	999	
 Striped              2 G	1999	
 Striped              3 G	2047                  2048 - 1
 Concatenated         4 G	2047                  2048 -1
 Both                 5 G	4999	
 Striped              6 G	5999	
 Concatenated         8 G	6143                3 * 2048 -1
 Striped             13 G	12999	
 Striped             15 G	14335                7 * 2048 -1
 

[Quoted]  For some reason, we are unable to create 2999m, 3999m, 7999m,  14999m on 3G, 4G, 8G and 15 G raw devices respectively.  

[Quoted]  Your inputs will be greatly appreciated.  

[Quoted] Looking forward to your inputs.  

 Sincerely yours
