Re: System hanging

Hi Evelyn,

Well, you need /var/adm/sa directory if you want to store the SAR data. For runtime data, you can specify the interval (i) and the iterations (j).

sar -d i j

For ex., if you say sar -d 2 20, it is goign to display the data every 2 seconds for 20 values.

You are still swapping means your application needs more memory resources. It's not a bad idea to keep it like this, but memory isn't very costly to upgrade. I wouldn't like to see any swap usage on my systems.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try

Re: System hanging

Thank you, Sri. I didn't get that sar was looking for "sa17" yesterday, and yesterday was the 17th. Today it wants sa18. Now I get it! (duh!) So, I created the dir, and I also had to create sa18, and now it doesnt complain. I dont think upgrading mem is an option right now, but at least we're not hanging users like we were last week. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions. I'll be reviewing the docs mentioned, and hopefully do a better job of monitoring this sort of thing.
