sar is not opening

[sachit patil]

can't open /var/adm/sa/sa10 message is showing after typing #sar <-|

Hi,

Please try

#sar -u 1 15

The above will give you the live data.

Just typing the sar would try to open the sar history file which wont be available in the system unless configured. Thats the reason for the above error message.

Regards,

Siva.

Sachit,
for additional info:
man sar

[Sivakumar TS]

the syntax is

#sar -u

you can use -u for CPU
-d for disk and so on, chek the man page for other options

Regards,

Siva.
