You would create the file by running sar with the -o option:<BR /><BR />"If the -o option is specified, it saves the samples in file in binary format."<BR /><BR />The man pages are your friend!<BR /><BR /><BR />Pete Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:40:45 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/sar-not-working/m-p/4595710#M375368 Pete Randall 2010-03-05T13:40:45Z
