sar is unable to read simple sa file. Error messages shown as:

sar: insufficient address space to hold XXXXX device records

Work Around

Convert the sar data files to text on their machine before
reading them. Use 'sar -A -f <raw file> > <text file>'

The reason is the binary file format sar uses, it takes a lot of space.
