sar incompatibility

2007-12-25 2:43:00

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.
