sar command for Solaris/AIX
Hello,

Can you please explain me how to parameter and use "sar" command on Solaris (AIX) ?

When I use it on Solaris I got the following error :

Code:
bash-3.00# sar
sar: data file not in sar format

Thanks,

Is sar data collection turned on for your system?

Run this command as the root user and please post the output:
(this assumes you are running Solaris 10)
Code:
crontab -l sys

I presume you have read the manual pages, so:-
  • What else did you try?
  • Did you look for any files mentioned in the manual?
  • Do you have suitable authority?
