If you do a man -k ulimit, then read the manual, together with the message from oracle, it appears to be telling you that you have limited the oracle owners file size write capabilities. Log in as the oracle owner, then type in ulimit. It will give a number (which I think is in 512 byte blocks), which is the biggest file that user can write. I would guess something in root.sh is checking that. (I don't have access to a sparc just now, although the root.sh on hp-ux has a couple of solaris references??? it doesn't check ulimit). You must be superuser to change it.
