You can do a sar -v 2 2 BUT I'm all but certain this is a false alarm. NINODE is of almost no interest these days unless you have the older hfs filesystems in play. Typically, the only /hfs filesystem on a box is /stand; all the others are vxfs filesystems and there the inode allocation is dynamic. More inodes are allocated on the fly when a table overflow is immanent.
