You don't seem to be running "sa2". Unless you run "sa2" (or have some other way of maintaining the "sa" files on a daily basis) there will be data from the same day number in previous months which you do not want. This could include a restart from months ago.

I'm not sure that your second "sa1" cron is correct. See "man sa1" for an example.
Hi Methyl,

The same codes are implemented on other systems and the sar works fine.
So there is no doubt about the cron entry.

Please suggest something else Bro..

Maybe this will help (but just realized you may be having issue just with sa21 file, so the below URL may not help in your case)

SUMMARY: sar not working in Solaris 9 on V880 or V240

So does the "unix restarts" only appears for sa21 file? If that is just one file and rest of the sar outputs fine, then you have corrupted sar data in that file. Probably nothing you can do about it.
