No, i did not say this and i didn't mean it either. In fact i haven't used - for the explained deficiencies -
sar for the last 10 years on AIX machines. In fact i do not know why the numbers do not add up to 100%, but since
sar is the wrong tool to use on LPARs anyway i don't care why this is so.
I know of (small) deviations from "100%" in vmstat and iostat, which is usually an artefact of rounding. The delta, though, is too big for being a rounding effect, so i don't know.
