I always run sar -[Whatever I want to monitor] -o outfile 10 60 (numbers are number iof samples and time period).


So to monitor disks

sar -d 10 10

Gives me 10 samples over 10 seconds


Don't worry about the /var/adm/sa/sa23 bit.

# su - sys
vi /var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys

and commentout these following three line


#0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
#20,40 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
#5 18 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 8:00 -e 18:01 -i 1200 -A




. Unless you have uncommented lines in the crontab file for the user sys and in the perf startup script
(/etc/init.d/perf), sar isn't running. Though you can, of course, issue sar commands to examine
or









.
