CA Nimsoft Monitor for Cisco UCS automatically discovers components, querying the Cisco UCS Manager to detail the physical configuration of the UCS chassis, including blades, network adapters, fabric interconnects, disks, and fabric extenders. In addition, when the Cisco UCS manager is securely connected to VMware vCenter using vCenter extension files, CA Nimsoft Monitor for Cisco UCS can automatically discover the virtual environment within the Cisco UCS chassis. Once physical and virtual resources have been discovered, CA Nimsoft can automatically configure, deploy, and display monitoring data based on user-defined templates.
