IJ04822: SAR -S CAN CORE DUMP IF NUMBER OF DISKS HAS CHANGED APPLIES TO AIX 6100-09

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using sar to display data from a file, while using
    the '-s' flag  to specify a start time, can cause it to
    core dump. This happens if the number of disks on the
     system increased in the time before the start time that
    is specified.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When using -s flag, the code dumps core when configuration
    is changed before the start time is specified.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changes to add configuration change check so that it does
    not dump core when configuration is changed before the start
    time is specified.
    

Temporary fix
