/usr/lbin/sa/sa1 generated core dump

[Rosli Ahmad]

Hi,
I've put the /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 in my cron to gather performance statistics of my K370 running HP-UX 11.11. Somehow, when I want to extract info from the /var/adm/sa/sa13, a core file generated in my /home. The zipped core file is attached if anybody need to analyze it.
I wonder if there's any patch required or anything wrong with my cron entries:
00,15,30,45 8-20 * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa1

Thanking everyone in advance.

Question (don't have time/means to get the core file to a unix system): do 'file core' to make sure it is generated by sa1.

Do you get the core file when collecting the data or when you want to view them? Because for viewing, use sar instead of sa1...

[Rosli Ahmad]

Thanks Elmar,
the core is from sar, as output from file core:
/tempdb/core: core file from 'sar' - received SIGBUS

It was created when I wanted to view the data:
K370:/home/itt902> sar -u -f /var/adm/sa/sa13

Pls. advise. Thank you.

Check what filesystem is on the lvol reporting the issue. Probably /var is full, resulting in corrupt sar data files, which are stored on /var ...
