Yes. Do you really need more inodes than 1 per 4 K? That would mean a LOT of really small files.
4 K is the minimum size of any file in WAFL (the write anywhere file layout) that Data OnTap uses. For files are under 4K, the inode informaiton is written in the 4K data block with the data.

thank you for all the responses.
i was able to do so.
one quick question,
1. why was i unable to increase to 11m but ok to increase to 8m?
mfiler2> maxfiles vol0 11000000 Max inode count cannot exceed 8263815 Cannot support more than 1 inode per 4 KB of disk space mfiler2> maxfiles vol0 8000000
what does that mean cannot support more than 1 inode per 4kb of disk space?

Actually WAFL uses a trick where files 64 bytes or less have their data stored in the inode itself and no data block is used at all. This is very handy for symbolic links, which are often short enough to not require a 4K data block.
On a NFS client, 'du -k' shows 0K used by a 64 byte file and 4K used by a 65 byte file.
