    Is there documentation on monitoring the CISCO/VMWARE/NETAPP flexpod?  Can CA provide guidance on doing so seeing CA and netapp are partners?  I found that it is supported out of the box but nothing to say how to do it and best practices.

    Don't know of a single doc that provides all that, and cisco includes a lot of different devices. Many of the cisco devices are best monitored via the snmpcollector.

     

    Probably the best place to start is the doc page for probes.
    CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentatio… 

     

    and under there Alphabetical Probe Articles.

     

    If you already have UIM go to UMP > Unified Dashbords, and CABI so see the out of box dashboards included. Some of them provide a view specific to the items you mention.

    Any details beyond just deploy snmpcollector?  details of deployment and also the other components of the flexpod infrastructure?  We are looking on detailed information to leverage CA UIM as the monitoring solution for this converged infrastructure opposed to alternate options deployed.
