The general consensus was that the solaris 9 sar binary will not read the
solaris 8 sar data files. The work around is to copy the solaris 8 sar
binary to the solaris 9 server and build in logic to the report generator
script that will tell it to use one or the other based on the os version.

Subject: sar incompatibility
All, we have a central admin server (recently upgraded to solaris 9) that
collects all the sar files for all the sun boxes in our env. I noticed that
the solaris 9 sar binary can not read a solaris 8 generated sar file. It
gives the following error:
sar -g -f sa01
SunOS lapso 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u 01/01/2004
00:00:01 pgout/s ppgout/s pgfree/s pgscan/s %ufs_ipf
sar: data file not in sar format
As you might imagine this is causing problems with our automated reporting
which uses the sar command to generate reports. Is there a way to get the
solaris 9 sar binary to read the solaris 8 sar files? Will summarize,
Thanks.
