Thanks to those that responded: Kevin Buterbaugh Eugene Schmidt Andrew Hay The general consensus was that the solaris 9 sar binary will not read the solaris 8 sar data files. The work around is to copy the solaris 8 sar binary to the solaris 9 server and build in logic to the report generator script that will tell it to use one or the other based on the os version. -----Original Message----- From: Johnston, Colby [mailto:Colby_Johnston@cable.comcast.com <mailto:Colby_Johnston@cable.comcast.com> ] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 4:24 PM To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: sar incompatibility All, we have a central admin server (recently upgraded to solaris 9) that collects all the sar files for all the sun boxes in our env. I noticed that the solaris 9 sar binary can not read a solaris 8 generated sar file. It gives the following error: sar -g -f sa01 SunOS lapso 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u 01/01/2004 00:00:01 pgout/s ppgout/s pgfree/s pgscan/s %ufs_ipf sar: data file not in sar format As you might imagine this is causing problems with our automated reporting which uses the sar command to generate reports. Is there a way to get the solaris 9 sar binary to read the solaris 8 sar files? Will summarize, Thanks.
