Thanks everybody for the answers. It seems that we have to recompile the application software, in this case Oracle. Some other tricks to be done as well such as creating/mounting file systems to allow them to use large filesystems.  

' Quoted from HP-UX 10.20 release notes and large file system white paper'. (see the next paragraph)

Large files over 2GB require the use of new system functions that use 64 bit file offsets. Look in "/usr/share/doc/10.20RelNotes" at the "Large Files" section to see a short 300 line discussion. See /usr/share/doc/lg_files.txt for the full 2500 line white paper.      

There are two ways to support large files:      

1. There is a new set of 64-bit interfaces and data types (similar to 32-bit interfaces).
2. There is a new compile environment that is requested with a new flag in which existing interfaces and data types use 64-bit values to support large files. If an application does not have to interact with large files, there are no required changes. However, the application developer needs to take specific actions to enable large files.
