Shalom,

Check the permissions on the file and if it exists. What user are you running sar as?

Read the man page:

"sar extracts data from a previously recorded file, either the one specified by -f option or, by default, the standard system activity daily data file /var/adm/sa/sadd for the current day dd."

sar always tries to log details into files UNLESS you specify at least a time period:

sar -q 1

You can also tell sar to repeat several times:

sar -q 1 5

Without any numbers trailing the options, sar will try to use files.
