[jwelby]

Can someone point me to a Nexus monitoring, management, troubleshooting best practices doc?

thanks!

Hi,

Can you please brief me what actually you are looking for monitoring? Do you want only the monitoring parameters or Monitoring tool ?

Same is applicable for Troubleshooting.

thanks.

Hi Ahkilesh.

My customer is rolling out FlexPods internationally and would like to monitor the health of the FlexPod - Nexus switches, NetApp FAS, UCS C220s, Tripp Lite UPS and PDUs.

A monitoring tool and key items to monitor would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

John

If they are deploying ONTAP 9.1+ they can use NetApp OnCommand Performance Manager with Unified Manager, which are included for free now.  I also think they could benefit using UCS Performance Manager as well.

NetApp OnCommand Insight would also be a solution but it is not free.

Hope this helps,
