You can use sar of course, it is there and working as expected.

Another tool is NMON, which has to be installed, but is freeware and can be downloaded from the IBM website. It can be used as a monitoring tool directly (has some ASCII-graphical interface) or in daemon-mode, gathering data over extended periods. There is a "nmon analyzer" with which to analyze the gathered data.
