I just wanted to thank everyone...and there was a lot, that responded.
Your info was useful and I got SAR running. Thought I would just
compile info out of the responses and pass it on down the line.
SAR not running: ...........check the following
Make sure lines in the SYS crontab are uncommented. (don't edit the
crontab file under /var/spool/cron/crontabs)
# crontab -l sys
#ident "@(#)sys 1.5 92/07/14 SMI" /* SVr4.0 1.2 */
# The sys crontab should be used to do performance collection. See cron
# and performance manual pages for details on startup.
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
Go to /var/adm and make sure your sa file permissions look like this:
drwxrwxr-x 2 adm sys 512 Dec 12 00:00 sa
Make sure your SYS in the /etc/passwd looks something like this:
sys:x:3:3::/: (keep an eye out for something like a noshell)
Make sure the sys user entry in the /etc/shadow file contain the string
"NP" not *LK*.
Check your perf file:
# pwd
/etc/init.d
# cat perf
#!/sbin/sh

if [ -z "$_INIT_RUN_LEVEL" ]; then
set -- `/usr/bin/who -r`
_INIT_RUN_LEVEL="$7"
_INIT_RUN_NPREV="$8"
_INIT_PREV_LEVEL="$9"
fi
if [ $_INIT_RUN_LEVEL -ge 2 -a $_INIT_RUN_LEVEL -le 4 -a \
$_INIT_RUN_NPREV -eq 0 -a \( $_INIT_PREV_LEVEL = 1 -o \
$_INIT_PREV_LEVEL = S \) ]; then
/usr/bin/su sys -c "/usr/lib/sa/sadc /var/adm/sa/sa`date +%d`"
.....then do a ./perf start
Go to your /usr/lib/sa and make sure they look something like this:
# cd /usr/lib/sa
# ls -la
total 54
