Hi Cliff.
This is not all due to CA's lack of support.
When Nexus was developed, they thought XML (web service type) was the
way to go to manage these devices. As such SNMP was not a big
deliverable when they hit market. They are only playing catch up with
SNMP instrumentation, of course Cisco conveniently developed DCNM tool
for nexus, but does go fairly deep into the virtualized switching
environment and other unique nexus features.
To date following are our issues we are pursuing with CA.
*
support for entity and fru traps ( there is no env mon mib
available on nexus) which makes support for entity/fru critical for
module/power/fan status changes/faults
*
support for L3.. although we have installed SUP cards CA
discovery does not recognize that these are L2/L3 devices, therefore
some of the routing models are not being discovered
*
support for Multicast, there is no instrumentation available
for PIM, but is coming, there are other multicast mibs available, but
since spectrum can't discover device as L3, we believe this also a
potential issue with Multicast Manager.
Our Ehealth team confirms that they are able to see limited CPU/MEM
stats, and confirmed that this too is a Cisco limitation, and need to
wait for proper mib support.

Subject: [spectrum] Modeling Cisco Nexus devices
Has anyone successfully modeled any of the Nexus switches (running
NX-OS) in Spectrum?
It seems as if they support only the most basic of Cisco's normal MIB
set. We're trying to get at the CPU and memory stats.
Thanks,
Cliff
